    The seller is charging sales tax for California which means they are in CA. THey also have a 626 area code phone number which means they are in the San Gabriel Valley area (around where I live). Hmm...

    Well since my MINI doesn't burble and whine I'm not too motivated to check it out. If anyone is really interested perhaps I can find thier shop and have a look up close.

    Looks like the Godspeed has a bad matchup from the flange to the bell which would cause some flow restriction / turbulence. But for $170 and some hand polishing and blending it could be a low cost alternative.

    I think the end tanks are to square imo. Looks like the air will slam into the walls then out so flow would be poor. I could be wrong?
