Speaking of Voltex copies..

I've been searching for a Voltex rear diffuser and came across this on e-bay. Never heard of the company selling it, and they make no mention of it being a Voltex. I thought it looks exaclty like it, so I sent them a message asking if it was real or a knock-off. I got a response asking what "Knock-off" means, so I guess it's a copy.

They sent me back this:
Dear racerkevin,

HI, THIS IS MADE BY "NRG". THANK YOU

-speedz.nights

Never heard of it. It's a rip-off anyway, and home slappy don't play that
With a name like "speedz.nights", one could accurately guess that these guys aren't from around these parts

I have a set of NRG carbon fiber seats that are good. I didn't know that they copied the voltex diffuser tho. The only thing I have ever seen that they make are the carbon seats.
If the diffuser is the same quality as the seats then it would be a good piece, but I dont think it would still compare to the real thing. I have a real voltex Diffuser and they are built with Excellent fitment quality and very strong. Voltex parts are just bad A** thats it.

now when Voltex finds out they'll stop making their diffusers, and everyone will be forced to buy cheap, crappy knockoffs.

im glad i got mine

That'd suck for me.. I have a Voltex diffuser but it didn't fit with my exhaust, so I sold it..cheap. Now I have an exhaust that it'll work with, and want one again

Thats been on ebay for awhile now. Cant you see the P/S job on the lic plate. The one in the pic is the real thing passing off as a copy. That person might not know there care is being used to market a copy product.


All i got to say is people have to eat.

The one in the PIC is actually an NRG bro because the carbon fiber on the inside of the VOLTEX is dry this one is wet .
