So here is the $850 question... After several pages of gyrations to clarify what those of us that already have his header and tune already knew... Are you going to buy one already? I would much rather see the fruits of Tony's labor in the form of new products being shipped, installed, and dyno tested by us... Buy it and a tune, you will like it!

Didn't order coating or a cat. Still waiting forever. It's always just a couple more days away.

Guys, where's my header? Been about a month now.

Also, took a chance and ordered a P3Cars gauge in a separate order. Got a box from you but all it includes is an OBDII splitter. Wat?

You guys go full retard? Don't you know, you never go full retard...

Seriously, give me a call. No one ever picks up. Thx

So were my comments BS and do I need Ritalin? Well, I mean, if you want this forum to be a love-fest where nobody ever questions a vendor then I guess that's your call because you're the mod.

I personally like to stand up for my rights as a customer. If enough people do it then vendors will be incentivized to do their business with transparency and integrity. If we let one vendor misrepresent their products then other vendors will have to start doing it just to compete.

And once again, thank you to Toni for hearing my point and fixing things up.
How did you sleep last night?

Gotcha. Was a wee bit perturbed by the splitter-only shipment. Didn't know the main part was drop-shipped. No worries on that, then, so long as the P3 guys shipped.

Where are we at on the header?

Good god. A month for something that is, by all appearances on your website, in-stock and ready to ship.

Can't believe that I feel like I'm the a**hole for posting these comments. You might seriously consider adding the lead time to the product page. It at least saves you from customers feeling duped. You seem to think a month lead time is fair, so add that.

I waited more than a month for Nameless parts 3 different times.

Had no problems with it, prefer quality over rushed parts... (shrug)
