You have a 1 in 25 chance of getting a bad one. I call junk product on those kind of odds. And I think pressure from the thread contributed to the facts coming out.
So yeah, it would be interesting to see how many Gen3 Belanger systems have been sold, and how many are having this issue.
So yeah, start a poll!
BTW, I have a full Belanger system on my GTS from heads to shiny exhaust tips, and am 100% satisfied with the product at this time. I'm not bashing them at all. This is how troubleshooting is done, and as Patrick pointed out, the designers, manufacturers and sales people usually start squirming when it gets good. We are not idiots.

Thank you for your words.......
The belanger system on the GTS is very different then on the 3rd gen system. I have not heard of anyone having a problem with the system.
However, in the Viper Club of Ontario, to which I am the Treasurer, there are over 90 members and over 265 gen 3 models sold in Ontario. Of those gen 3's I'm the second owner of a complete Belanger system. The first owner has it on his GTS. So of those 2 owners 1 of us is totally dissatisfied and is trying to resolve a problem which should come from the manufacturer. Thats 50% dissatisfaction rate.
I suspect the sale of complete belanger systems on gen 3 models is low. Most guys have random tech cats and Corsa. But I would also suspect that the problem rate is higher than the 4% you mentioned.
Thanks
