Anyone know why the new manifold and some other stuff was pulled from the site?

On the Facebook Gamma 2 page, they are getting no support really from the community and are being attacked... and there products being call garbage or ****..
They have had there air intake and coolant tank called garbage. The intake manifold as well...
I have a feeling they may be pulling away from the sonic platform cause of this. Most current is regarding the updated intake manifold v2 with the larger runners.
I do not think we will see the manifold for the larger turbos or possibly anything else.
Its sad really, they all complain we need more companies to support the platform but when they get one they go rabid and just attack it.
This is all just my opinion of what ive seen transpire. If i was one of these companies business reps seeing the way they act, i would just pull out and save myself the headache or if i was looking at the platform and saw this i would just keep on walking by as it would be a waste of time and r&d.

Supporting Vendor
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. We have a lot of fun with our little sonic, unfortunately we are geared toward performance and we have found many are mostly interested in "head light tint" and "windshield banners" at least thats the majority of the posts we see. No offense to any of those enthusiasts. We continually strive toward refining existing products and making new products. We have 6 or 7 components that were in various stages for the sonic but all have been put on hold or pulled due to the market conditions. Diversity in manufactures and products are what make enthusiast communities great. When you only have a handful of manufactures you start to have literal factions that support only 1 vendor. This ends up limiting the community as a whole. The sad part is the people who actually have purchased our products love them, and the ones that diminish or put down our products have never purchased from us. We will still offer the components we currently sell but new development may be at an end.
Thanks,
Jeff

This is a sad, sad day indeed...worst part is I cant even blame you guys....I can easily understand where you're coming from.
I take it theres no talking you into reconsidering halting the turbo manifold? I mean the cruze boys would love to have one as well, I'm sure. How far did you make it with the turno mani?
I wish you guys all the best.
Looking forward to picking up your intake manifold when I'm able.

I know I already said my peace but I've been seriously depressed since I heard this.
Is there any way you guys would consider doing a small batch if enough of us got together?

I cannot express how disappointing it is to hear this news. I was so excited when I found out a out RacerXFab and I immediately bought what you guys had to sell. I felt like a little kid, waiting for your big turbo setup to be released, and now I'm slightly depressed.
I guess all I can say is thank you for everything you have done for us up to this point. Your support was amazing and your products have been second to none....especially since you're the only ones to even fabricate certain Sonic specific parts. Thank you! There are certainly a bunch of us that simply crushed by this news.

Man that's a heart breaker. I was really excited when I saw a second version of the intake manifold. Too bad a few bad apples had to ruin it for the rest of the class.
