Agreed. I took a breathe and I'll be patient. I have until the end of the week to see if my kit comes in. Good chance USPS lost my kit. It's been on "out on delivery" status since Saturday. Of course USPS is no help of any sort when confronted at the station Saturday morning when tracking says it has arrived for sorting.

Agreed all around. @Meetjoeblack I hope that it didn't get lost!! And hopefully JDL will be better in the future about finish/ship dates.

There has been no misleading. We have been backed up due to he holidays. Even though most places were closed for Veterans Day (I am also a Vet and I worked all day) we were open working on orders. We were also working Thanksgiving Eve till 9pm as well as Black Friday. Those days did push back inbound material shipments. We did what we could with the delays.

Every order is a priority to us. All 6 of us go out of way to get them taken care of. We work late and work off the clock to ensure they get fulfilled. Everybody that should have been getting shipments has been in contact with us. If any of you have questions or want an ETA call the shop. If we dont answer please leave a voicemail so we can call you back asap.

Picked up my car yesterday after having the S/C and exhaust installed. OH MY GOD it sounds amazing! Nice and quiet with no drone when cruising and full on racekar when you get on it!

Wow, its hot in here, well to change the subject i was told by my tuner that JDL UEL header is the only one out there that completely eliminates the roque dip with an appropriate tune and no i dont have one. If i only had known before ordering mine lol.

PS- i think they JDL keeps coming short on due dates because they give short lead times and try to keep it. For me this is better(given they communicate via forum and other methods) than telling me a kit will take 6 months to build, this would make me consider or better yet buy another product.

Loading our coater up with lots more golden gems

I spotted the one headers for the fr-s in that batch haha

JDLAutoDesign · 12-10-2014, 04:12 PM

There is actually 4 FT86 headers in the pile

UMB FR-S · 12-10-2014, 04:13 PM

There's no way!

DocWalt · 12-10-2014, 04:17 PM

I see 2 UEL, 1 catted UEL, and 1 EL

Correct

My car makes small children cry at WOT, I love it!

DocWalt · 12-10-2014, 05:01 PM

Mine makes me giggle any time I drive it with the windows down. With the windows up I can barely tell I have the header. I love it

Oh, and the powerband is awesome now! I can easily get away without downshifting a lot more often now, and WOT is fantastic. I was driving around with two other people in the car and it was still faster than stock with just me in the car
