Anyone have a problem with the puck binding up on theyre DP?
Mine binds pretty good, i had to play around with it for quite some time b4 i get it to work correctly.
 
Yeah guys, lets hear from some of the guys who received theirs already. Are they on, and how did they work?

Still waiting to get mine!!! They said I would get it before 4-19 but I have yet to see it or hear from anybody on that end. I really do appreciate this rare opportunity to get a 3" d/p at such a great price, but I don't think I am asking for to much by requesting a tracking# or an e-mail to let me know where my d/p is. I've said this before: If it hasn't gone out yet, fine. But if it was shipped when they said, it must be lost. This is not a $5 part, this is over $300!! I don't know about you, but I don't like to piss away $300. I am going on the power Tour May 24 and I'm waiting to get this pipe so I can replace the d/p, rear main and have the header welded at the same time. I NEED TO GET THIS DONE ASAP. I sent in my money when they asked and now all I want(besides my d/p) is some kind of reply. Anybody else waiting? Anybody get a tracking #?
 
In the Turbo Lounge there was a thread about Mease's phone and email being down, which would explain a lack of replies to your inquiries. Shouldnt slow down production though
 
Here is a bit of email...

...between Rob and me yesterday:

Michael,

Yes, I have seen a pile of them. I received an email from Keith Sunday a week ago stating that his email service was down.

I don't think that anyone should panic though. I have had some email correspondence with Keith's friend Lee Josephs, who say that DP production is on.

I will email you and everyone involved as soon as I hear some news. Hopefully that will be in the next few days.

Thanks,

Rob

...I hope that this puts some minds at ease... relax, they will look after us. Nothing is free... and discounted items always come with stipulations.

I wonder if Big Brother will lock this thread too?
 
Got mine.

UPS dropped mine off at my door on the 17th of April.
I was #25.
Have not installed yet.

I am #27 and have heard nothing except from Rob when sending e-mails.

Sounds like the execution is very disorganized especially with the DP's being mailed out of sequence. I am not worrying yet, but I do have all my documentation in case this gets ugly.
 
I mailed my deposit January 25, number 47 March 28 racieved an e~mail stating they had trouble with the c n c waterjet. He said that I could send my final payment any time because mine would ship in approx.3 weeks.I sent my final paymenton April25,and haven't heard a peep since.I was hpeful to have it in time for Norwalk,but I don't think so.:(
 
Quit your whinning.

The TR community acts like the biggest bunch of babies when it comes to products and vendors.

Maybe you haven't noticed: We are few and far between. And we are damn lucky to have ANYONE supporting us.

So, until things get WAAAAAAAAAY out of hand... go sit on yours. Quit typing and causing people grief.

If you don't like the wait for specialized and custom parts go buy a 5.0L Mustang. Otherwise shut up, wait, and accept that this is a small company trying to fill a BIG order.

And, Yes... Keith has my money too. I am #48. And 8-10 weeks is barely up yet.

Are you all out of touch with reality? :rolleyes:
 
Maybe if people were willing to pay proven vendors a fair price for their products and services, we would not have so much poor communication and dependence upon the "cheap" guys.
 
If I might comment on this.
I spoke to Keith last night and he informed me that if anyone has any problems with their downpipe, he will repair it. No questions asked. As far as the numbering system, I believe Rob Woodruff can assist on that. Keith has been working on the pipes consistently. As was mentioned when the GP started, they were not going to be ready instantaneously as there are many factors that go into producing the pipes. Things such as getting pipes bent, the manufacturing of the flanges, the manufacturing of the pucks, the manufacturing of the bushings, the manufacturing of the pivot pins and anchoring tabs for the pucks. There was also manufacturing involved with the flanges for the test pipes.
These are truly hand fabricated and as such, do take time to make. Please be patient as they are truly worth the wait. I had the prototype on my car for 4 months with no issues what so ever. I presently have the first production pipe on my own car with no issues and we are going on 3 months with that. Trust me, Keith is trying to keep everyone happy. I can guarantee that.
As far as Steve Wood's comments. I guess if what you say is true, then we would all be driving Fords since there would have been no reason for David Buick or Louis Chevrolet to make a car to compete with Henry Ford's cars.
You have to have other options.......especially when it comes to Buicks. This being that there are fewer and fewer vendors making things for these cars. I am thankful that Keith would even attempt a project such as the down pipes.

Steve, maybe you can educate us on how they got to be "proven" vendors? Oh that is right, a bunch of guys over the last 10+ years have been taking risks and going through the same complications that we are experiencing here.

Yeah, I'll go order a DP from BGC... not a chance in hell.

Let the community grow.

Lee, Thanks.
 
Sure, I can.

They got to be a proven vendor by supplying a good product at a price that allowed them to make a living and provide good client service. Those that have survived have learned this. It's simply basic business.

Not sure what BGC has to do with the price of tea in China. It was never a proven vendor to those that learned from other people's experience.

However, most posts we see here is "Who has the best price on......?" Not, "Who contributes the most to the development of our sport?" or "Who provides the best product support?".

We shall always have cloners around trying to cut the price but we may not have the leaders around who drive the technology because other markets provide both volume and reasonable pricing for services/products rendered.
 
i was on the first shipment of pipes. I must say i am very happy with this pipe. amazing construction and my exhaust sounds alot better now. have not had any binding problems like the "proven" atr pipes and it looks great under the hood, if anyone will host pics ill send some along.
thanks,
Mike

I would be interested in knowing how you determined the ATR pipe was proven? It has been a subject of continued complaints from its inception? Anyone that bought a "proven" ATR pipe must have not been a member of this board or decided that 50/50 was good odds. :)
 
So Steve,
We are all just supposed to run THDP, PTE Turbos, MSD 50s, Kirban whatevers, Poston what nows, and black bumpers and paint, right?

Seems a bit bland to me.

Do you consider Jack Cotton an established vendor? Well if you do, he screwed up the shipping on a group order of 3 PowerPlates. Guess what they told us about the extra cost?! Eat it. Nice customer service.

But, you didn't see me running up a flaming thread up in here over a few dollars... I just accepted it. Just like the rest of the cry babies here need to do.

This is business people nothing goes smoothly.

So for now, you keep running your discontinued-aluminum-bracket-breaking torque strap, and I'll go install my nice new HRpartsNstuff DS motor mount...

Just another cheapie copy cat vendor, right?
