Do a search on Nowack on this messageboard - there are some people with less positive experiences.

Re: Thinking about the Nowack 500 Conversion?

I love the way my car performs/sounds but l've never had any side by side runs with the car yet to see what sort of power it makes, so how does she perform over a stock M5???
l've never had it to the drag strip to see how quick it is accross the line either.
Nowacks customer service rates a big fat 0 out of 100 from my end....absoultly PATHETIC.....quote me on that!!!.

Re: Thinking about the Nowack 500 Conversion?

Hey triflow - you want to take on a Nowack? Apples isn't too far from you...perhaps a little showdown in O-town could be in the making??
