People being able to help each other, may be techincal knowledge or finding the lowest price is what makes this site so great. Why take that away?? Just my view. 
But as a forum member; you gotta understand that the forum owners -do indeed- set the rules here; and have every right to do so... in any direction of their choosing.
I only asked my question because I felt the forum rules are a little vague about this instance and was hoping for a clarification.

So should the admins send you the MANY 10's of thousands of dollars worth of Computer Server/Hardware bills? OR should they just suck it up and pay it out of their personal checking account just so you can come on here and try to low ball a business man..
Because face it.... This website isnt FREE. SOMEONE has to pay for bandwidth, servers, accounting, IT support, etc etc etc. And it sure as he!! isnt YOU.
So go ahead, try and save that couple bucks by going to a non supporting vendor. This way when you get ripped off we can all sit back and laugh at you.
Better yet, go buy your parts at Autozone. This way you dont have to be burdened with 24 hour access to "Corvette Only" business owners that can answer any questions you might have, because you dont think they should be able to "Pay" to advertise their expertise.

If you need the number pm me and I will give it to you we need about 15 members so lets get this deal before it goes away.

Way to bring it back on topic. It is supposed to keep the headers from turning colors and also keep the heat inside the headers instead of the heat radiating off into your engine bay and under carriage.

you guys are confusing the hell out of me with this GP stuff. what is tbyrne's GP price? seems he indicated that he's a distributor/wholesaler and at @1299, he's loosing $$$. so, how can scott sell them at the $1299 price? ...and what about nate@corvettecarage??? someone said that he's got a better price yet, so what is nate's price? is scott person a legit - any forum member in Fort Worth TX, know this guy?
bottom line - i'd like to get a supermaxx system, and what's it gonna cost me - period!

I feel the excitement of the GP is coming back... JMHO. GP's are suppose to be exciting, and its a Band Wagon affect. A great deal comes along, and everyone jumps ON - even people who never thought of buying that product before.

you can purchase anything anywhere you want but not advertise it here. Supporting vendors pay 200 or 300 or more per month and it is not fair for someone to come on here and put a plug for a non-member vendor. You can email your Friends just not plug it on here.

IMO,looks like nate pissed in tbyrnes pool.tbyrne offered the gp first,he should get first crack at it.do what you want and say what you want,but you started with tbyrne,you should finish with him.

If a CF member is looking to start a GP, all supporting vendors have the RIGHT to get our orders. They need to give their bottom line price. And in this case Nate's price IS Lower... So what are we complaining about - saving money? Isn't that the whole purpose of a GP, and CF members helping each other? (JMHO).....

(JMHO)..... I could have got this system last year for even less, from a shop in Ft.Myers Florida, (NOTE: the complete system NOT just the headers ) I kick myself for not buying it then, as I see it's went up in price allot since then. Vendor or no vendor I would buy from whom ever offered the best price ON the COMPLETE SYSTEM.
If I new of someone/some where/ where you could get the system for a $1000 I am quite sure ALL members would want to know where. That is what this forum is for, to pass along "INFORMATION" and if a supporting vendor can not offer a better price, well to bad, cut your profit margin.
ALSO all the talk on this thread I hope where talking about pricing on the Complete System and NOT just the headers.

hello - the price difference is pretty much $20.... Nate isn't the one offering the 1299 i don't think... i'm pretty sure the person offering 1299 is not a CF Vendor... but don't quote me i could be wrong...

if it's a difference of 20 bucks,give me a break and go with tbyrnes.
i will say this,EVERYONE should look at nate's site
<------- and see if you see what i see. maybe i'm stupid.
like i said,i have no interest in the gp regardless of who the vendor is,but something is very wrong here.VERY WRONG!
