Cool

We shall see. JOE has not yet received his new intercooler and piping. His new piping was not mailed as of March 5th. and not priority. Hopefully the kit will arrive before Joe's job moves him in April.

I totally agree. If there are further problem. You'll surely hear about it. I don't think there will be though.

GTM, what's the explanation for what is in the PICS? Can you confirm that you sent parts that looked like that?

Man this sucks so bad... I dream about a SC kit at night....

GTM didn't Comment on the PICs, and that's my main concern

I'd like to ask why the kit wasnt shipped UPS or FedEx? Instead broken down and shipped By other means.

As far as your situation goes I feel for ya thats a terrible thing to have to deal with. From my perspective it looks like either GTM screwed you or customs has a vendetta against you either way the grime inside the parts is hard to explain lol. I hope its resolved for you and im sure it will be but keep us updated.

Their business is booming and they have so many people on multiple boards licking their a$$es. As such, the inner drive for 100% quality control and ethical behavior inevitably diminishes. And worst case scenario (which is occurring right now), they try to screw one person out of an $8000 turbo kit, they have all their loyal followers coming ot their rescue, posting all of their positive experiences etc to make it appear that this could have in no way ever happened. Just ask Madoff's clients if they ever thought something was up. Also, it seems that as businesses expand and revenues increase, that is when ethics are at their nadir. See "The Social Netowrk" and how Zuckerberg screwed his partner and re-structured the company so that his share was less than 1% when Facebook expanded.

As with all things, the truth is somewhere in the middle of what both sides are saying. But ask yourselves this, what could possibly be motivating destinyZ to needlessly slander a very popular vendor without cause? GTM has the FI market cornered right now for G37/370Z. The Greddy kit is crap. The GTM Stage 1 is an easier install and drastically outperforms the Stillen kit, so guess what? If you want FI, GTM has you by the balls. That is not excuse for what appears to have happened. And if it's true that the response to this was "sh!t happens" I would have been on the first plane to Cali to have that said to me face to face. But anyone with half of a brain can see that for whatever reason, this guy was shipped what looks to be a very used, beaten on, kit. How or why this happened is another matter. It's possible the higher ups at GTM were unaware of it. But that still doesn't change the "sh!t happens" response, if that's what was actually said.

My only experience with something like this was with the shop that I had all the work on my WRX done at. They treated me like gold because I was always in there for mods. They cut me deals on service, dyno time, and made me a lot of one-off parts. But I saw how they treated customers who they didn't know, and who weren't spending big money. They'd overcharge them on dyno pulls, make them wait needlessly, not follow up on orders for their parts, long delays for installs, etc. This has nothing to do with GTM, just saying that as much as I loved that shop and for all the great work they did on MY car, they were overall pretty shady. And this is something that I've learned pervades the automotive industry, especially the aftermarket.

I'm not saying this is what happened, but i cant think of much other explanation. I doesn't look anything near the quality we have seen (and expect) from GTM. But I agree, it was most likely a worker. I highly doubt Sam or anyone high up knew about this. I could be way off, just spit-ballin.

Technically, GTM hasn't done a thing until this person receives everything he paid for in New condition or receives a full refund.

And LOL@ "honestly this is a cry out for attention"... I would certainly hope so.. because if he hadn't spoken out.. he would still be out $8300 & have a pile of bent, dirty, used pipes...

Best of luck OP!
As I have stated before. At this point Joe still has the damaged piping and intercooler out $8300 and still hasn't received his new products. All he has gotten is words like "it will get fixed, it will be shipped today,oh it didn't get shipped yesterday. It will get done today. priority." Then the box didn't get shipped till a few days ago.Not priority. The slowest way possible. I told GTM once Joe gets good products I will post it until then we wait.

WHAO!!!! that is alot of opinions

I'll post later but for now I'm at work:

shipping to guam takes 2 wks priority mail from Indiana (place of residence)

GTM has sent new items (slow shipping as mentioned before)

OP is not Joe...its this guy

Guam has a 1/4 mile track and autoX...but I C what you mean, no highways is an epic fail

Real quick, the video was a way to SHOW that what was said in the dragon thread by chii370 wasnt a lie. It was a way to show our side and numbers. Of course GTM is going to post here, just look at the title. Everyones story has 2 sides...stories usually involve more then 1 person.

I had no intention of video getting onto the forum and is why It was never posted by the wife or I. I also wanted to keep the dragon thread clean and not to create a mess.

LOL! For the record. SAM is the Only person Joe worked with. He was the one that said "**** happend. And it will be MY word against yours."
I like how he bunched the info together as if it happened in a few days.
Like I said I will be posting another video.
GTM Don't lie and don't try cover up and skip over things. Just be honest say you screwed up majorly and then handled it poorly and Sincerely apologize.

Sam stated why he didn't send it FedEx or UPS and went out of company policy to send this one. I am guessing it was something to do with Joe being in the armed forces.

on a serious note though.... to everyone that said everything is fixed and they just want free stuff... sam already sent the new product....

even if sam did fix the problem and sent destiny the new parts already... the main point here is

you dont advertise to someone that they will invest 8,000 dollars on a kit but instead of getting a new kit they receive a beat up kit.... thats not acceptable no matter what angle you look at it. its just not right ill leave it to everyone if they believe that crap was damaged in shipping ill make a video of me putting a intake tube in a box that is nicely packed and sealed and then spending then next 5 minutes throwing it to the floor with force just to compare the damages that gtm has claimed "shipping caused" no matter how hard i throw it on the floor there wont be grind marks or black grime on it.... or maybe i gotta throw the box on a really dirty floor to make ONLY the inlets dirty and grimey
