We will keep everyone posted.
So then you will have 2 Gforce axles, one free, and free labor correct?

Yes, I will have both the passenger side and driver side Gforce axles.

Who will test stock 06-07 axle on passenger side and Gforce thin driver side? I dont know? I like the idea of helping out the forum, but I'm sure as sh*t not taking my passenger side out again!

Yes.

I paid for and installed the passenger side. We quickly figured out after flooring it in first gear at 3500rpm that the hop was still there. I told dannboss once I took a good look at the stock 07 axle that it looked to be the same size as the Gforce. It turns out it was, thus not doing anything for wheel hop on 06-07 Vs.

We are now going to swap the driver side with a thinner axle made of 300m. He is giving that one to me for free because I paid for a product that didn't work on my car. He is also covering the labor because I do not have to time or resources to install this one myself.

The thought process is that the 06-07 Vs (that decide to use Gforce products) will need a thinner driver side. We hope it fixes it.

Re: Gforce axle testing conclusions

Sounds good, kind of puts that quote from Gforce that he never gives testers free parts to keep down bias in the trash though. I do hope it works for you thought, gotta keep the Kooks/Magnaflow dream alive!

Yes and no. I was sold a part that was advertised to fix wheel hop. It did not. I spent my time and money installing a product that did not work. I was fine with keeping it in and chalking it as a loss. He offered to send me the correct part to fix hop.

So yes, I am keeping the product that didn't work, and he is sending me the correct product to fix the problem that I paid for. You can spin that any way you'd like.

You just laid it out, no spin necessary, free parts + free labor create bias even if it is just good customer service. Again, I hope the fix ends up working out for you though.

It is what it is. I can be as biased as can be, but if my car still hops...it hops. No getting around the end result.

Video is not biased...it just shows the results.

Re: Gforce axle testing conclusions

I take care of my customers first and foremost. I also stand behind what I said, free parts do not get the best results.
He gave his feedback on the passenger side axle and in his feedback I learned I didnt send him the right one.
I could of told Wisler to not post anything but I told him to post up exactly what his results were, I told him he was a customer and anything posted would be a learning experience for everyone.

And yes, I am giving him a drivers side axle because I screwed up and sent him the wrong axle to begin with. I know Brandon doesnt have a bunch of tools or time to mess with this stuff so I'll cover the install too.

The results that Dannboss had are the only real results that matter right now since I didnt even send Wisler the right axle.
I sent Dannboss 2 axles, both big passenger side axles. I didnt even think about Wislers car being an 07 LS2 car.

I've got about 10 customers lined up to use these axles so I'm not too worried about just one persons feedback.
Whisler151 is free to give his feedback and most will find it helpfull I'm sure. But everyone will have to remember he got one axle for free.
