As some of you know I've been trying to get hold of a hose for the last month so I can fit my mantzel inlet. I need the hose that goes from the throttle body to the air filter. Tried a cav 1.7 TD hose, doesnt fit nor does it have the hole for the sensor, tried a vectra ecotec hose, has a hole that fits for the sensor perfectly, but hose is too big for throttle body and air filter.
Got in contact with regal autosport, as I figured surely the dbilas flowtec one would be a perfect fit as it uses the standard throttle body and air filter, and fits in near enough the same place as the mantzel does.
Anyway they replied to my email and asked for either a photo of the hose I needed, or the dimensions, so to speed things up, I gave them both.
That was early last week, still no reply, sent numerous emails asking if they had made any progress, no reply!
Do these people want to make money or what? It just doesnt make sense to me!

Mantzel's website doesnt work anymore, how come courtenay sport do not advertise the mantzel on their website?cav 1.7 td hose doesnt fit properly regardless of the sensor being mounted or not. I think I will give a few places a call, but I will most probably be put through to some f*ckwit who has no idea what I'm talking about (sadly the case with most companies these days)

Companies generally don't reply to emails as most of the time they are just questions, and never usually end up to a sale.
If someone WANTs something they will either just order it online or call the company. If your wanting to know information, what should you do?
Send an email, MAYBE get a reply in a few days, if ever, or call them, ask the question, get a reply staight away?
Simple commen sense really

Why broadcast your email address and then not reply to emails? Is that not like advertising your phone number then not answering the phone.
