On one of my clients cars we just wrapped alot of the wiring in dei fire wrap and had the hot parts coated after a few heat cycles. turbo blanket of course. Car has 7k miles and the only thing moved was the battery to the trunk for aesthetic reasons. Others did want their boxes and harness and ac lines tucked so those were easier but its a really good kit for the money imo.

But you are quite lucky, at least they have responded to you.I suspect they see yours as a fairly inexpensive fix, whereas mine isn't.

Gave them a call and he was very cool and helped me out. I am in no way trying to ruin the companies image. Mr.pitts i understand that you had a bad experience but i personally think you should let it go now. You already made your point.
I did some research and even the inline pro kit had issues with heat.

We did not convinced anyone.
He explained his situation and mentioned he didn't purchased that kit from Kings Performance. He bought it from a friend of him and his friend didn't supplied him with all the parts included in the kit like the Heat Covers / Wrap that are included when they ship from us.
Everything has been resolved
Thanks for your time,

Let's see you throw away 1000s of dollars and just let it go
