Hopefully when things settle down next year at the shop and you find yourself more quality welders production will become stable. You are making a good name for yourself across a few forums. I'm definitely in for batch 3.

I completely understand, and I agree with swoosh, rockstar and others that the reason we are all waiting patiently is because we have seen how these exhausts and other products come out and know that they are top quality.

Sorry for the book, just some friendly advice. Thanks for getting back to us.

From what I read above, I'd say that it sounded like prices might go up a bit. Although, production might go faster/easier which would allow him to churn out more/faster...faster rate of return...maybe cost comes down a bit or equalizes.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to do a better job of updating those who have put in a deposit. I have been trying to avoid too much attention by posting updates publicly. I want to provide my customers with the best customer support by always picking up the phone. However I find after posting updates people call non stop wanting the exhaust. Which is great that there is so much interest but it keeps me for working on the exhaust.

I need set up a touch tone system.

If you are calling about the RV6 True Dual exhaust > Press 1 > We will begin collecting deposits for batch 3.............

For all other inquires > Press 2 > Richie's cell phone

^^ Not a bad idea! Even if we all knew that 1 update per week was coming with a few pics and where production stands a lot of us would back off and ease up . You would get a lot fewer phone calls if people knew that an update was coming IMO.

And yes, you are clearly doing something right if people keep lining up like they are... I'm just glad I got in on batch 2, even if the wait continues...

So moral of the story is : stop calling him - you are just delaying all of our exhausts haha.
