RPM Outlet: the myths, the facts.

Fact: They will not let you pick up anything localy, even if you live 5 minutes away.

Fact: There is no dyno shop at RPM Outlet.

Myth: They hired the lady from the Psychic Network to determine pulley belt lengths. The truth is they actually send random-sized belts just to keep your mechanic skills sharp.

oldie but a goodie.....

at the risk of being sent to the principal's office.....

RPMOutlet give aftermarket vendors a bad name. Worse than some others already do. For that, RPM earns a coveted and well deserved....

Fact: If you buy parts from RPMOutlet (or any parts whoring company for that matter) because of the cheap prices, do not call me for tech help with said parts; I will not help you. (You'd be surprised how often this happens)

Does anyone have a source for the fuel rails they sell (besides RPM outlet?)

Fact: Nobody has actually seen an RPM Outlet employee before. They all are genetic-clones of dead used car salesmen, contained in 55 gallon drums filled with McDonald's french fry grease to sustain them. I originally assumed they were robots.

Fact: When returning a defective product to RPM Outlet, the credit is magicly refunded to your card 8 weeks later, and reduced by approximately 15%. Trust the math.

Myth: Motoblue upgrade products aren't produced in South American slave-labor sweatshops. They are actually produced in North Korean prison-labor sweatshops.
