HPS, yes, now that COBB stopped selling. Corsport is not the only place that sells them though. The issues are with HPS though, not the vendor.

Wesellcarparts has been having just as many issues getting them in stock.

You guys should inquire directly at HPS to confirm replenishment timing (at least that what I did back then...). They should be able to confirm ETA to the resellers.

Red, Wesellcarparts stated that HPS didn't change the ETA for the parts to be shipped this week so we should be "hopefully" be getting them this week.

I ordered my set thru wesellcarparts because of the bad customer service experience from Corsport. I feel I must give wesellcarparts props for the excellent and prompt communication so far

WSCP has been great on my orders, so no issue with them. I canceled my order through Corsport, but they were very professional in handling it and very upfront on what they didn't know.

I installed the tubes and took more temperature measurements. I don't see any difference in temperature between the HPS tubes and the stock plastic ones.....which is pretty much what I expected. There was speculation on here that the HPS tubes might be a better insulator and therefor help keep intake temperatures down. The temperatures still run about 8-10 degrees above ambient which I doubt any other CAI can beat. It finally warmed up to around 85 here and the intake temperatures ran at 95 while cruising at 60 on the freeway.

The car does seem to respond better with the HPS tubes + K&N drop ins as far as overall throttle response goes. BERK HFC's also went on today and seemed to really wake up the midrange which I didn't expect since I thought most of the benefit from HFC's was up top.

Tubes just shipped from WSCP! Woot!

WeSellCarPart · 04-14-2011, 07:18 PM

Thanks all!

Pelican170 · 04-15-2011, 08:40 AM

Well hopefully Corsport's will ship as well. If not, im going to attack them! lol

BalanBro · 04-15-2011, 08:51 AM

It shipped from CA, so I'm guessing its coming straight from HPS.

birdmanx1 · 04-15-2011, 09:07 AM

I'm getting my set this upcoming wednesday

I ordered thru wesellcarparts and was given a 2 weeks ETA which is exactly what it ended up being. The customer service with wesellcarparts was far above and beyond what most are getting at Corsports.

Pelican170 · 04-15-2011, 01:18 PM

I asked them for an update since I never got one from the other day. I will post back when they reply... If they still dont know, im canceling and ordering from WSCP.com. I dont care if i have to wait another 2 weeks or whatever, i am at my limit with Corsport...

Pelican170 · 04-15-2011, 02:47 PM

Just canceled with Corsport and put an order in with WSCP.com. Apparently they have a couple in stock... Screw Corsport. haha watch them ship them to me now and have double sets haha.

RockStarKick · 04-15-2011, 04:33 PM

I just got an email and tracking number from Corsport, they just shipped my tubes with an estimated delivery date of Tuesday..
