Thumbs down S&R

Ok So here goes, Everyone on here knows I'm trying to squeeze more HP out of my Stillen kit, An some ideas where tossed around about moving the MAF's but I decided to stay with their location upgrade them and make the intake bigger. Because the car was down for the SC anyway, I did not have an issue with sending the intake out to be traced if need be. So the only thing was finding someone to do it, Because I have no on local to me I had to depend on someone out of state to complete the FAB job.

Honestly they where not my first choice Motion Lab and Alex was,. but there where in the middle of a move and could not do it for me by the date I needed it by. So I poked around here saw S&R's work on the single turbo for us looked at there work and decided to give them a call( All most two weeks ago), So I put a call in spoke to the sales guy , Told him about my project, He was helpful asked for my name and phone # and said he had to talk to his FAB guys and see what it would cost and how long, He also told me he was familiar with the Stillen kit and new the intake piece I was talking about. So I gave him my # and waited for the call . . ..He called my back about 20 mins later( last time he ever called me) Told me they could do it , It would be a one day turn around and would be about $75-100. I said ok Cool, I have it shipped to you ASAP( They did need it to trace).. That was one the 6th, I spent $$$ on two air and had it to them by Thursday the 9th. I called him back on Tuesday and gave him the trax # of the package. I also tracked it on my own, Saw it was delivered and singed for , Waited a few hours and did not get a call saying" hey man it here, we got it" ,So I called him and he tells me they have it and they will start on it .. I wait till the following Monday( 2 days) no call from them on Friday( Should have been done) . So Monday I call and ask hey what's going on everything going ok,?. He says "NO" we need to order the material?? I'm like UM?? Really, He says "OH we did not know this was a cast piece so we have to order the cast material"?? (UM WHY, can't you just make a aluminum one like everyone else?) And they have to talk again to the FAB guy and get me a price and he'll call me back today....?? Another day goes by no call, I call again on Wednesday and ask what's going on, "UM Still no materials and no price yet ",So they have had my intake for 5 days now and done nothing with it, UM OK?? So he tells me he will call me back with a price and update on the parts they ordered today.. Wednesday goes by no call, I'm really getting tired of this my car is going back together the end of the week, and I have NO intake.. ok So I called again on Thursday and say" what's up man what are we doing with intake , Just send it back forget man".. . He says " OH UM where almost done with it and we can OVN back to you, Cause I know you needed it", I'm thinking OK, finally I can relax now.. So here's where it gets REAL fun, He says" Ok we are almost all set and its.........$394 ", I instant flip out ,What the hell you talking about you told me $75-100, NOT $400, He say's " OH well that was a estimate, you know around $75-100 but not the price", I'm like "ok I understand that but $75-100 is no where near $394, Don't you think you should have called me( Hell even once) and said hey man this is more than I thought and told me that price" Cause I would have said "NO THANX" and shipped it back," Or HECK even the one time he called me back WAY BACK 10 days ago, An said yea that would be around 3-350 or so I wouldn't have even sent to them.. So I argue and the price magically comes down to $194, At this point I just need the damn thing back, So I say ok cool, He tells me he will call me back after they box it up and get my CC # for payment so they can OVN it back to me. That was yesterday at 11am or so, I called them today no answer and the VM is full, Really full??? So I called Stillen and bought I replacement one, Screw it I'm out the $40 I paid to ship it to them 2 day AIR and the $195 I had to pay for a new one and 2nd day air to me. I don't even want to bother and argue with them to send "MY INTAKE BACK" Funny thing was is Kellyfields was going to take a ride over there for me and they where going to measure the pipe after the SC incase I did decide to move the MAF's. No NOW, I will never call them for anything..

Here is my thoughts. They want to keep it , Why who knows but still till this minute 253pm NO CALL.. Nice way to do business,
