Noone said they didn't have a good product or anything about the owner. I said that I don't really like the way that the RIPP poster on this forum handles himself or herself according to thier post content I've seen.

Ok, here we go again. Look they are both great products! No need to put either one down. I understand defending why you chose a particular one but why try and put the other one down. It's good to have competition. It will help lower some prices for us all!

By the way, I've spoken several times with Scott at Sprintex USA, and he's a nice guy too. Shares his knowledge freely on the phone. I've thought to myself abuut how they should be putting more of that information out to others who are interested. So I post here what I find in effort to educate others. I don't say anything about how one product is better than the other. I made my choice based on price, time of purchase, information that I had available....which may or may not include my perception of a company based on who they have posting on these forums where we come to share knowledge.

PS: I agree with Rubicon10 as well. More choice is always better for the consumer.

Demtek9- did you ask Scott why he doesn't post information on the forums for members when they have questions? Also have you asked him what Sprintex has lined up for the 12+ model jeeps?

Nope, I don't care because I have an 09. I'm done on this post as it doesn't concern me anymore either.

Agreed, as to why our new sale that runs to the end of the night.

As to our "attacks" it is more of an education as to why, and what centrifugal design that we use. Our responses come only after coments of " only at 5500rpm " or "only at WOT" and that is absolutely not the case. Do other competitors make more initial tq or hp, yes. Do other competitors products make more claimed overall power, yes. But to make statements that are just untrue, and claims that are just false is wrong.

Transparency in our product and advertising has been, and continues to be a cornerstone in our marketing. It is what has allowed us to celebrate 2013 as our 20th year in the automotive performance industry (1993-2013). Our "attacks" on the competition are a "show me". We have dozens of publicly available dyno charts, and videos posted by us, and independently by installers and customers. If it is an attack on a competitor to ask the same, to educate the consumer, then I guess we are guilty.

Questions welcome.

I personally don't feel you're attacking anyone. You have an awesome product....just doesn't fit my driving habbits. I have the sprint ex installed and works great.....does exactly as I expected..Ripp is a great company/product. And looked into it.....is one better than the other? Maybe...depends on desired results...let's all get along and enjoy our common passions

RIPP the reason I used the word "attack" was because I've seen you post about the Sprintex not having a intercooler and you stating that it is an inferior product because of this. This misleads a potential buyer because of your false statement. I think that it is very wrong for a company of your stature to make such accusations because you know very well that a twin screw style supercharger has very low intake temps compared to a centrifugal, thus the Sprintex does not need an intercooler. I've never said anything bad about Ripp, you do have a great product.Lastly the way you smother the forums with your product, via post, videos and dyno sheets is very effective and it will ensure that you stay on top of your market over competitors, it's just not how I think a 20 year old company should present it's self. That's just my opinion.

First of all, I can see RIPP has turned this into an advertisement for his product, this thread was NEVER intended to be a sales thread....it was intended to be used to get consumer input about the products available, and how they felt about there choice... and to compare points of view.

Second, I meet RIPP at SEMA, and my personal opinion falls right in line on how he post, arrogant, spiteful of new products, condescending, and well... just out right rude. He quickly called me out on a race, I said sure, i live in Lancaster Ca... he replies thats fine I have products all over the US...So i said lets do it... well, im still here... send out a stock JK none rubicon gearing, no intercooler with 3-4psi boost and lest run em!!! and if you only got ones with intercoolers thats fine because Sprintex is coming out with one in just a few months.

Third.... just a few off replies to some post that were made since i was gone... My little brother died, and its been a bit rough here...


Chassis... this Sprintex unit has power NOW... ist amazing to cross an intersection.. im always the first off the line..



Yea... I got one... your late in the game... i would recommend it to others..

did we meet at SEMA?


https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...243995-218084/

it did... and as you know it was amazing...

no one... well... i do out at Willow Springs Race way in my Vett's once a month...

and this is a true statement...

correct

agree

he did this in my build thread as well... its irritating. His attitude and posting practices are a reason alone i would never buy a ripp

agree

agree once again.

I'm in the market for a s/c for my '10 Rubi, so I have been scouring the Internet forums for info & reviews. I too have noticed RIPPs negative comments. Instead of making me want to try their product, it actually makes me want to avoid them altogether.
