Yes. We are working on them all this week and we're aiming to get them ready to ship next week.

Sorry, I'm not very patient...

Customer survey...
Yeah, I got an email from Google Checkout wanted me to do a survey and asking how was my experience with ACURATLPARTS.COM.... There wasn't a 'I don't know and not sure when I'll get my product' response among the selection. 
No worries! This gives me something to look forward to when I get home from work each day. Same routine....run to the PC to check my email....followed by a period of disappointment.

Besides performance claims, do you think this mod will improve economy in normal day to day driving?

Quiet, Rika Neenja!
Just to note, my j-pipe & test pipe from mike gave me like 800 times the gain that the CAI, P2R spacer, ground kit, IM gasket, etc did. worth the $ for sure.

Yeah the product sounds great for the price and power given to the car...But this is starting to get very annoying.
I believe that this is BS, and to an extent; as I client I feel insulted in not receiving any kind of follow ups on the delivery of these parts.
It has been very deficient and dissapointing to me.
WHEN IS ATLP GONNA REPLY BACK?

I think we just need to be a bit more patient. since ATLP is relying on another party to do the fabrication, and essentially, thats out of his control to some degree.

i just ordered the j-pipe today paid in full. talked to mike he said the part would be ready and shipped to me in a weeks time. lets hope he's right and not B.S.ing me. if so no biggie, the exhaust i ordered wont be ready to ship out for another 4-5 weeks.

I agree that the parts are worth it...But it is the responsibility of both...the distributor and the vendor to keep they're clients happy. In time i can understand Mike having a lot of pressure with partial control. Thats why I have remained cool about it.
Hopefully they can learn that demand is high enough to supply constantly. Instead of waiting for a new batch of people to initiate fabrication. Statistics have spoken with the amount of clients wanting ATLP parts.

I think making too many of these would be a huge mistake. Mike needs to keep the production as close to the demand as possable. The number of people willing to modd their tl is small so little batches looks to be the safest way to go. The parts should be worth the wait.

I did find how you guys might have installed it incorrectly... it requires adjustment with the hanger
I put the 3 bolts like on a wheel.... in axis order... then left them loose and played around with the fitment
ps. I have the procats... maybe that contributed to extending the space... and as for the loss of low end torque... MYTH

Quiet, Rika Neenja!
Mike's a good guy, sells quality parts, and isn't trying to dick anyone. This is like a contractor saying he can build you a house in 8 months, if that bitch is done in a year you should do a backflip. Well Mike contracted a welder or exhaust fabricator to make X number of these things and the guy is likely taking his sweet ass time or encountered unexpected delays, etc, etc. It isn't Mike's fault! I'm sure they'll be here soon!

I don't think an update from a vendor is too much to ask with something like this. It's been a full week with no more info other than " doing the best I can." I would like to know what the delay is and what is being done to get product delivered. I realize these things happen, I've worked in manufacturing industries for years. The best thing you can do is explain it to the customers, even if the news isn't good, at least it's communication. I understand he's not trying to dick us over, but it would be a bit more comforting to at least see him post something...anything...that informs us of what's transpiring and why he can't get product shipped out this week as he stated on 6/16
I had mine paid for 3 months ago and I'm getting a bit anxious, not upset or angry, but I would like to know a status update at the very least. It's easy to say ''relax blah blah'' when you're not the one out $400+ with nothing to show for it. (and if you're in the same boat as me and STILL not worried, then more power to you)

Spoke with Mike...
Fellas... I spoke with Mike on the phone a few days ago, he said they are finishing up the pipes and they will ship out later on this week and the following week. Dude seemed like a nice guy and responsive, so I do believe things are out of his control at the moment. Let's support Mike by keeping our cool 
.Mike, is there a long wait for the test pipe? I'm thinking about ordering one in the next few days and hopefully I can install both at the same time.

Was your credit card actually charged? I know mine hasn't and won't be until the parts are ready for shipping.
What about everybody else who's paid through google checkout? Were you charged in full up front or when the parts shipped?

********* UPDATE! **********
I just checked... and Google checkout indicates that my credit card was officially charged on June 24. That tells me we're close!

I thought I was supposed to be on the first batch of these, but somehow was not. When I ordered mine it did not say ''this is for the second order'' on their website, so that is where part of my frustration stems.
