Question OFH wait time

Anyone else having to deal with ridiculous wait time for a OFH? I've orderd my header a while back and was told I was 18 on the list and that the last shipment would have enough for me. They told me that they got the shipment last week but now I'm order number 8 And have to wait till the next shipment again. If I knew I had to wait this long I probably would have just orderd borla. Is anyone else having issues? I hope it's true that good things are worth waiting for

I had about a month wait for mine. Honestly, if it wasn't the best "bang for the buck" I'd have gone with another header.

Edit: I ended up selling mine off though, and apart from the noise, I don't notice much of a difference between it and the stock header.

I ordered mine on the 12th this month. Don't have any clue when it'll be in. Not too concerned at the moment cause I'm waiting for my Nameless op/dp anyway.

I thought they were supposed to be getting enough to have them in stock all the time and that's why the price went up?

What didn't you like about the header? I've waited a month now and it still hasn't shipped

Hell I waited 3 months for my JDL on the initial group buy... but I understand if you're told a date and not adhering to it would make anyone frustrated.

So you're telling me they designed the tune that way? Cool.

Either way, for me it didn't seem like a massive improvement. The torque dip was smaller, but not worth the 1300 or so it cost me.

Orderd mine just over a month ago and still hasn't even shipped. If it doesn't ship this week I'm getting my money back and picking up the CNT UEL. Open flash hasn't offerd me good customer service either. I ask them a question and it takes more then a day to answer and they never really answers question.

Doesn't surprise me. I had a problem with my tablet, and some time during the email conversation, they just stopped replying and I heard nothing back from them again and never got my problem resolved.
