How did Nitrous Express recover the STOLEN SEMA Intake?! THE FULL STORY 

Buddy really thought hiding it for 4 years would be long enough to throw off the trail 💀 He couldn’t have been more wrong

Oh this dude knew! He didn't get upset or anything when you told him. He was way to cool on something like that! He was happy as hell to not have charges at the time!

as an intake manifold, im so glad you are bringing awareness to the kidnapping culture that has emerged.

When you said "its not like its stolen" lol i dont know how you kept a straight face. Good job sir

that's a wild story.

He knew. He was way too chill about that, and knew there was a risk.

I'm putting my Oceans 11 pants on and stealing this from PRI. Who's with me?!

I hate thieves. Glad you got it back. Like how you didn't screw around. That guy's reaction... he totally knew what was up.

I suspect he was in on the theft and or knew the person who stole it.Had he been innocent he would have wanted to talk to the police as to how he could recover the money he paid for it.Guilty

I'm glad you got it back, we were eight next to you and our display was also stolen, never to be seen again.

HOLY COW!! It's the 4 Lug Thug!!

Imagine all the parts that go missing from these shows

Take a look only, nit take it home. Glad u guys got it back.

I hate thief's ! One time at the racetrack i got my laundry stolen... thank God for NX and they hooked it up with some shirts

Reunited and the feeling is good...should be the next shirt!!!! I want one!!!!!

Crazy!!!

Hell yeah! Get back what you own

Great job getting your manifold back, but I do believe you should’ve gone after the thief a little more!

So glad for getting it back can't wait to see what y'all do for it . Hope to deal with Nitrous Express this year.👍

THE 4 LUG THUG COMES THROUGH FOR " NITROUS EXPRESS " AND A TURBO GUY TO....FAIR PLAY TO ALL INVOLVED...GOOD JOB !!!

I hope all of these people will help you get to the ones responsible. If so, I hope you reward those who helped.

Thats wild! I honestly can't believe it went that smooth. Were you sweating when you got ready to tell him you were just taking it?

I need one of these for my 8.1 thatd be sickkkk

Man I had a customer steal a custom built turbo kit by filing a chargeback wish I could recoup from it like this

Dude you are badass for sure

If you are going to steal something make sure it’s not exclusive like that 😂

As an outsider to your industry and someone who don’t know sht about nitrous in a car, this must be one hella of a manifold ! Good for u for getting it back.

Two fckn things i can't stand. A liar, or a damn thief !!! Good job fella !!

Love that traffic

Thats why you ask the seller where he got it before you tell him its yours. Im glad you didnt pay him i hate when people do that.

Awesome that ya got it back. What i would love to know how that person did it. Like a Ocean 11 movie lol

I think you guys need to tell us that you "booked a flight" one more time. I'm not sure seven times is enough. We are all kind of wondering how you got on an airplane

Guarantee he was involved in lifting that thing

That deff could have went sideways.

I'm curious how the hell they got that out of the SEMA show

Brent’s a good dude

Honestly think that was the guy who took it. Dude was wayyyyy to okay with you just taking the manifold and handing over the paperwork lol

Ayee.. The Ole 4x Lug Thugg!!! 🙏💯🏁🏆🇺🇸💰💪💪💪💪

Well 😂 keep up the good hard work and be safe out there 💪🏼🙏🏼 and I can't stop wondering what was the price listed on FB Marketplace 😂

should fasten it to the table at PRI with a giant log chain like a pit bull at a crack house

yeah but does it match you vin stamps number for it ??? !!! if there is no stamp numbering it. you can't do shat !!! I am gonna make a few of those now since I know what it looks like now !!!

That might have been as cool as Liam Neeson in Taken. Seriously.

just curious if you recoup the money from your insurance I don't know if you did or didn't and you're getting your product back down the line that's awesome insurance check plus the products slowly coming back it's a win-win

Love it. Ballpark, what would a custom Frankenstein manifold set a guy back? Looks bitchen and pricey.

Fruit punch rockstar for the win. FIRE! LOL

Best part is when the guy said he should have wiped his fingerprints off of it😂

Why didn't you show up with CHP, or the local sheriff...! I'd be pressing charges 100%...!!! You should never let thieves get away with theft...!!!

Cool, how do I get one fair and square?

So, you're saying if you need to steal a Frankenstein manifold there'll be one at PRI? Lol! Naah glad you got it back and dude knew it was hot, probably his bro that snagged it. He was way too willing to give it up and get gone. If that was one and I bought it, I'd be demanding a lot more proof than a piece of paper thinking any scanner could print that out. Glad Frank is home tho!

the way aftermarket is....10 years from now that will be in the recycle bin....lol

love the bit about only two exist in the world and NSX owns both of them

That man has 100% got something to do with it being stolen… If I bought something and trying to sell it (obviously for a good sum of money) whether you had documents or not, I’m getting a cop on the scene for legality reasons. You would probably still leave with it, but to cover my own ass, I’m gonna make sure I’m legally not a suspect because I’m sure that’s a felony charge dollar amount wise. My only response wouldn’t be “ok, derrrr, ok”…. That seller guy is a idiot

one of thse guys couldnt believe how you got it back now he his shitting bricks hoping you dont track them down just to find out your own employees were behind the heist 😂😂

finally 😊

Rockstar post flight

You should have called the police and got that guy to say where he got it from. That guy knew for sure because he did not seem to be pissed as you were taking it. If you did not want to charge him, then he should have paid for your time, airfare, and travel expenses. Just sayin!! Glad you got it back though!

Man talk about Winning ! and didn't have to enter the burn out box . 😉

you need to have a plate machined and welded to it that says "Stolen from Nitrous Express"

He wasn't trying to sell it, he clearly gave it away. NOT!, trying to take suspicion off of him, but he blew it when he said I was trying to sell it. Yeah, that's why they flew him out. Slap da cuffs on.

Like the G-Unit

To cool.. I hope you finally get to arrest the thief that stole it...

This is the 4 lug thug guy and runs a turbo ls in his mustang

Maybe someone wanted it for the Mazdarati :D

That's nuts. Good thing to buy from authorized sellers. You can never trust Facebook market place, especially, Craigslist.

Whats the brand of your shades

Had no clue u was with nitrous express

Were was Tom at when you got back I didn't see him?

Did you really get a Expedia plane flight from Texas to California?

How did all these parts get stolen in the first place? Need the video about that

That dude knew it was hot.

Yes sir!😂

Dude was expecting $4,000 dollars and now he’s losing $4,000 dollars

Yo that guy is probably out at least a few grand and had no idea, then some guy takes the manifold 😂😂

Watch out our Kz1000 Trail Buggy could use that. 👀 😂

I think he has something to do with it. He was half ass trying to act like he bought it from Frankenstein. Lock dat fool up. 😂

How were you racing for team cali when your from Texas?

Except statuette of limitations in california is 3 years if I remember correctly. But I'm glad to see yall got it back because I hate theirs to me there one step below child predators. Ok so I talked to my buddy who is a lawyer here in sf bay area. And it is 3 years which sucks and in the last years I had three cars stolen which I recovered with no help from the police since they said the have bigger issues and if they arrest them the d.a won't prosecute and yeah that started I heated debate with them. I was just saying it's not your job to get convictions it's there job to enforce law and was told that might be but we won't waste hours of our day when they know they will be out the next day which I do understand there side since the told brass gives the orders and this is what happens when you defend the police and don't get it twisted I'm not a police suppoter like that I respect they have a job to do and there hands are tied on what there allowed to do . And told them if anything happens wto a their they on the ground don't come looking for me or anyone else that's trying to stay lawbabiding and they nodded to me with a yes and we shook hands and I hopped on one of my Harleys and road off and yes I'm in a 1% motorcycle club for 20 years which has been half my knife and now we have a mutal understanding with no one leaven happy or mad if that makes sense sorry for the rant but it's therapy to me and I tell myself something I've heard which is don't make permanent decisions on temporary feelings and hello from oakland california

❤😁👍

For anyone wondering theft of one of these is a major felony they're 5k + for s normal one lmao

You were cool for not getting PD involved at that time, but the way he just accepted it, and didn’t start ratting off where he got it and starting to thumb through his phone for a number says everything! Guy new damn well he was caught and didn’t want anymore shit stirred!

Didnt this manifold get stolen like 3 years ago?

The finger prints all over it is just such an oxymoron!

Seller definitely knew it was stolen.

Should of gave the guy some kind of reward. Surprised dude let you take it to your trunk without the cash

now do the smart thing and set up multiple cameras to record displays and catch thieves

That guy and his brother stole it 100% and he knew he got caught.

I was hanging out With him on the starting line at Armageddon im the trailer trash with no underpinning i saw you in a different eye i cut for you bro if you ever need anything hit me up

How did it even walk off from a sema show?

Your too nice he would have been arrested for receiving stolen property if it was me. Thats a work of art.

Nah, you should have called the cops. That guy fuckin knew it was stolen and he definitely was the one who took it.

How did he get it then

That was 2019?!? Feels like fall of 22 or 21. Not pre covid.

👏 👏 well done. I bet the vops will find more stolen goods at his house.

Ain't no way I'm taking no L's like that if you got proof where you bought it ie Facebook messages you can't be charged for stolen property 10/10 companies have insurance on these things they already been paid for it you have to gonthrubthe insurance at that point I bought a 408 stroker long block off marketplace and had a guy at a drag strip claim it was his he showed pics filed a civil matter I got to keep the block cause I had proof of buying it from a seller. $5k And them guys soft for letting you put it in there car without paying for it ain't no way.

How much is the actual MSRP price?

Yall should bike lock all yer shit at trade shows to a table 😂

Come on that guy new it was stolen

I’d like to see this in action instead of a traveling side show piece. It would be harder to steal that way.🤷‍♂️

How much did the insurance company pay you for your loss?

$6000 plus manifold
