At that point, they promised to get it out yesterday and email a tracking # but nothing yet. I can tell you they didn't waste anytime charging my credit card.

okay, the group buy i had.... vendor did not make one here yet.

he did the usual group buy where 10 ppl had to join in to get this pricing to go.
as soon as it hit 10 ppl, the vendor started to collect the money.
and i received the intakes a few days later.... 5 to be exact....
thats how a group buy is suppose to be like...

and then it ended up with 19 ppl in all

I did order directly from them and they gave me a great deal. I understand that there were fitment issues and that they wanted to take care of it, that's great too. The problem is my schedule, basically I was going to run the dyno for all of the people here that were interested, even though it was going to take an entire day of my time to do it.

I have two job and live out of town, and the store with the dyno does not work on Nissans, so I had to find a time that another store across town would be able to do the actual install.

So the plan was to get up early and be at the dyno place when they opened, run the car stock and then drive to the other store to have them install the CAI. Then go back across town and run the dyno again. Time wise tt was not feasible for me to run the dyno and then drive back to my house in the country, install it myself and then drive back in. That is why I had to pay for installation in case anybody was wondering.

So based on R2C's claim of shipment I was able to work an install/dyno day between the two shops availability, my time off and other wife commitments. Orginally I was supposed to have the unit earlier this week, so when it kept getting pushed back I started to get more and more irritated and I really didn't want to leave the two shops hanging potentially costing them money too. So when I called today and told that the earliest they would arrive would be Wednesday night I had had enough and canceled. What really pissed me off was that it was left to me to contact them each time, they were never proactive in contacting me to advise of a delay. An e-mail takes what 15 seconds?

Again sorry for not getting some numbers for you all, but I hope you understand my position. They may be great intakes but I will hold off ordering from them for a while.

Glad to hear, are you going to run a dyno for us?

jpit · 08-31-2009, 03:11 PM

Unfortunately, I am two hours from the nearest dyno and am saving it for an Uprev tune.

RCZ · 09-01-2009, 05:52 PM

Hehe. Tin is third?? Sounds very quantitative. I had no idea there was a ranking!

I do agree, tin was one of the people you don't want to mess with around here and mess they did. That's one thing I am liking about this site, vendors either do it right or they get killed.

Hey RC! Even though I can be hard to please, I still they that they deserve a second chance. And I would still consider ordering one in the future, especially if somebody else pulls a good dyno.
