I was quoted 2-3 weeks, it's been almost 7.
I'm ok for now, but if I don't have all 3 pieces by race time... I'll be a bit upset haha

I've sent 3 emails in 4 weeks. No response at all.
They've responded a bit on their instagram, but that's all.

Try their Facebook page. Public shaming generally gets responses out of people

I've sent them 3 emails over the past 3 weeks with no reply to any of them. I need to cancel my order, but looks like I have to just go through my credit card.

I will say this, JDL's instagram post shows a pile of freshly welded merge collectors for ft86 headers so hopefully they're on track. I've mostly only seen VW parts updates from them lately though.

Yeah, plenty of times. Would seldom get a response, and when I did I was repeatedly told the headers were two weeks away.

Go to their Facebook and start complaining, or make a post here complaining. No company likes bad press. Just tell them to stop the bullshit and give you an honest time slot of when to expect it.

When I was ready to order, they were responding to emails immediately. We probably exchanged a dozen emails in less than an hour.
Now... silence.

Yeah I heard about this too. They said they would be back some time next week like you said.

They better be ready to be bombarded with questions by one person.

I am sure they have a billion emails to go through the moment they are in so it might take a day or two... I had stopped by to meet someone in a neighboring shop and saw someone working over the holidays even. So it looks like they are still working the extra mile.
