TX of course
I would too! Make hundred dollars profit and risk the EPA coming down on you. That ain’t worth it.

That’s alright thanks for trying. Looks like I’ll be driving to Vegas on Friday and then Boise on Saturday headed for Pat and the guys at Big Twin Diesel.

So Proformance is booked for a month with work and cannot do it next week. Looks like Big Twin out of Meridian it is as I just got some bad news about Sin City Diesel.

Well I just got the box from HSP and those people sent me just the manifolds and gaskets and hardware with no up pipes like I paid for for $1700 so I don’t know what I’m gonna do now unless PPE pipes or the like will work with these manifolds or if they can overnight them to me tomorrow and I have them by Friday.

Man this has been a cluster **** between getting parts and finding a shop to do the work huh? That usually happens with decent size builds. Hope everything works out man. Did I miss what color you got everuthing powdered?

Total cluster ****. It would help if people would take a minute and double check things before they ship last minute. Powdercoat is illusion blue

Common sense isn’t so common. Hopefully you can get your parts in time. :thumb:

Looking forward to the color. HSP says they’re overnighting me the pipes today. We’ll see what happens next but I’ll be sure to report it here, good or bad.

Not to step on toes, but I know I wouldn’t like a customer bashing us online because of a mixup. Yes it has inconvenienced you but remember these are custom built pieces for everyone. Anything can happen. And mixups can definitely happen when jobs are being rushed out.

Just got off the phone with HSP, they said they have one set of up pipes that they could send out but they have to be coated first. I told them forget it I can't afford another screw up. Ordering new 2" stock location up pipes from PPE to be overnighted to me right now, though they won't be ceramic coated. HSP said they're going to work on a refund but they don't know what the amount is and I am paying PPE $85 to overnight the up pipes to me. Also, the manifolds I was sent they don't know if they're normalized or not and the hardware is probably wrong and there is no bung for the EGT probe welded in either. Total **** up on every front from them and it doesn't sound like I'm the first customer to experience this. Also, I asked to speak with Joe the owner directly and they said he's too busy to talk to me right now. Oh well my money will go elsewhere from now on.

On another note, big thanks to Daniel at PPE for being so helpful and informative.

So both companies are stainless up pipes and both would not be coated so why change? I rarely coat the pipes since I wrap them. There’s a lot of little things happening with them and the move. I agree Joe should be on top of the shipping manager but bashing a company play by play like you have been doing g just isn’t right. If I were that kind of guy I would run any of their products. Everything considered they are a pretty darn good company to deal with. If they make mistakes they always take care of it. It does get frustrating sometimes doing custom work and things don’t go your way.

Sorry, I spent a shit ton on this build and I'm not a dentist so I don't like pulling teeth. Get their shit together is all I have to say.

I had same issues with hsp and shitty customer service after paying them $6500. I feel it’s 100% right to let people know your experiences. Hence why sdp got my money this time around and couldn’t have been happier. 2 total different experiences.

I hope you get it all solved and installed man!
