Did you buy from him directly or from ebay. Thanks for the info.fatride said:I just got my Plenum today. I paid on Sept. 3rd. HTH
You are an i/c guy so you wont understand so just dont worry about it since i has nothing to do with you.TurboIndian said:I'm just curious, but why in the hell would anyone order anything from him? at least once a month there is someone bitching that they can't get parts from him, can't get in touch with him, can't get there parts, the list goes on and on. so I ask why would anyone order a damn thing from him? MHO if someone orders anything from him and they get burnt it's your own damn fault. this will probably piss 85 ttypewh1 off and probably several more, but I just don't understand it.![]()

And yet you still cant follow directions, and still flapping your jaws.You knew i did not want opinions so i guess you dont respect my position. Thats why you move heavy things for a living, so when you dont follow directions and you mess up it probably wont hurt it. You knew why people still order from him so dont act more stupid than you already are. Just keep sitting there at your computer starting **** and flexing your computer muscles.TurboIndian said:stupid is paying for something that will take you over 6 months to get. :wink: stupid is not going to a fab shop & spending an extra $100 or so to get the part made, (if you need it asap). so don't go start flapping your jaws calling someone stupid. I just posted that I was curious, I guess I got my answer.
Thanks for not rubbing salt in my wounds like some others who posted here. I have moved on as far as i already have a 3 inch replacement dp from a guy i bought a set of headers from. It is just that a couple other guys on this site have also bought a d/p from him seeing as he is the only one that is suppose to make them anymore. And they have yet to recieve them as well since they have not posted yet, and i have only heard of 1 guy not getting his part from him ever. So i want to believe that he is just swamped like he and everyone who knows him says and believe i will still get my pipe. Now maybe he is going to screw the rest of us that are still waiting but according to the past that has only happened once and i think it was you, but if i remember right bweavy did get the pipe from him and sold it to recoup the money he gave you. I just wanted to know if those other guys got their pipes to see if mine would show up. But as ussual some unhappy people on here have to poke and prod to make themselves feel as though they never got screwed.badboy86gn2 said:This guy is a joke(Mease)

Big Stu said:His $hit isn't that nice, I've seen the welding he does up close and personal. The local high school welding shop kid does better work.
PhilM said:HmmmI dont know what your looking at, but all these intakes he welds up look pretty darn good to me... but I must be blind. I think in all of his years making buick parts, Ive only seen one problem with any of em... a test pipe which I probably welded and had a small pinhole in it. If his creations arent nice, why the hell do people still buy em... It cant be because they just like him now, can it? I think its amazingly flattering that I have a brother who makes parts so nice that people still order a pipe or intake, fully knowing it may take a few months to get due to backlog. This particular pipe is not made by all, but most of his stuff can be bought elsewhere, with a much faster shipment. Simply amazing... defys all logic of economics and business.

As far as having someone properly manufacture a nice pipe for you since not everyone is as handy as you, big stu, its pretty much a long shot for having made cheaply, unless you have a friend in a machine/fab shop. As soon as you have the need for high precision parts, be it NC'ed or even manually produced, every shop talks quantity. For eg., I paid $500/1 for a punched and bent 18ga. amplifier chassis to be made at a NC fabrication shop instead of making it for 20 bucks myself. When you get to buying 50 of em, the price is about $50/per. No shop that wants to make money is going to design a pipe, the flanges, and all the parts, have the pipe mandrel bent, NC the bushings and inconel pucks, Cut out the flanges, and then want to sell it for anywhere near 500 bucks. Rrrrrright (say that in that DR. EVIL voice, please, it will be funny).
This is good though, Keith needs bad reviews and negativity. He's already on the verge of stopping the buick stuff since he's doing much better and friendlier business with the impala crowd. I swear the only reason he still makes buick junk is because I still have one and there actually is a handful of nice, pleasant TB owners out there (btw, thanks 85ttypewh1 for your enduring patience).
Thanks,
Phil
