Meh, I agree with both sides on this one. On one hand you don't want to pester the guy because more time B'sing with updates delays productivity. On the other hand I think people just want a set date that these will be delivered. I know people have to have the money set aside so they want to know when they can expect to pay the man. It should not be hard to set a deadline for things when this is your business.
But I have no dog in the fight, because I am too cheap to get this exhuast.
Oh and for the record I have seen houses built in the time it takes to produce these systems.

this is batch 3, correct?
what makes anyone think it would be any different than the first 2 batches? they were all ready and shipped well after the promised date, but everyone eventually got what they ordered and everyone shut up bc they were so happy with their new exhaust.
everyone will get what they have put a deposit on, Richie isn't a huge shop with 100 workers fabbing up these exhausts. perfection takes time.
everyone keep your pants on and keep waiting, there is nothing else you can do anyway.

I'm trying. I've been good up until now. I'm not mad or anything at rich at all and I'm not bitching. I'm just simply curious as to when we can expect. I'm antsy! My car sounds like a dying civic right now due to the hfpc and jpipe combines with a modded factory exhaust. It's embarrassing. I need this so I can drive again lol

^^^ I bet Justin is frustrated with his work and hence very very hyper...usually...he doesnt mean any harm though
Aaron, we all know Richie has delivered and there is no doubt about his credibility, nothing wrong with asking for an update...
I am pretty sure this batch of the exhaust will be awesome as well and the users will be very pleased....I am also pretty sure if Richie could hire few folks who can help him out by building these exhaust a little bit quicker, he would get a lot more orders which is always good for business

I also didn't say anything was wrong with asking for an update. I merely suggested that everyone be patient and they will get what they want in the end.
Oh and awesome advice for Richie, hire more workers. I bet that thought never occurred to him.

Aaron, I think you are stereotyping....yeah there are scam artists and there are genuine vendors...I did get scammed by a person on exhaust wraps, I dont hold a grudge though....
about being patient, delivery date was supposed to be last week and folks are still waiting to make a payment, hence the excitement turning into "any updates???" ....
and since none of us have a horse in this race, we BOTH should only throw a penny here and leave

if paid in full; then we have a right to have a set date.
but because it was only a deposit; he could push the date back. he could scrap the exhaust and give us the deposit back.
and HONESTLY; it wasnt a delivery date.
it was a expected time frame. a time frame. Just like how the cable guy gives you a time frame of a 3pm-5pm window.
also, deadlines are sometimes not met.

Mine only screams rape between 3-4k rpms. Luckily it's not the whole rpm band but those are the most common rpms the car is in. I can't stand driving past the stupid civic hangout in my town sounding just like if not worst then them

As ALWAYS in cases like this: communication is vital. Tell people "they will begin shipping tomorrow" or "I think they will be ready in 2-3 months" or "I really don't have an ETA yet, but I will post another update in 2 weeks".
It doesn't sound like anyone is getting out their torches and pitchforks due to the time it's taking to deliver these. They are just getting antsy due to the complete lack of communication.

Correct, but what exactly is almost there? 1week? 1 month? 3 months? I think most of us that are on edge (me being one of them) are only being like this because of his past batches going so for over scheduled date that we are worried its going to happen to us. And if that is the case we would just like to kno. It's summertime and I want to go to meets and drive my car but I won't when my car sounds like a raped civic. That's not Richies problem though I'm just explaining why I'm so antsy. I put my deposit in in October and never said a word about it until now. Does that deserve some credit lol?

it looks like he doesnt have the process down yet.
we can expect from batch 1 and 2 that it will go over schedule.
deadlines are sometimes not met. trouble with welders, trouble with equipment, trouble with test car, etc.
there are probably lots of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that we dont know/dont have any control over.
p.s. I dont daily my car, so my exhaust problems arent thaaaat bad. lol
but when ever i do drive, i am embarrassed.

Aaron, I could stoop down to your level but I guess I will pass... And that was 2 pennies and now you are out of them ;-)
Justin, I totally agree with you... I think everyone should be patient as this exhaust is gonna be awesome and Rich has always delivered.. However nothing wrong with asking for an update.... Anytime someone ask for an update you post up "hold on to your horses"... I think it's been more than a month they have had an update... It just takes a minute to log in and post something up....I bet everyone has a minute ever 2 weeks or so... .

^actually, Rich came in last week and gave an update.
His update echoes my sentiments.
Hold your horsies.
he doesnt have a set date.

Quick update guys. We have 7 systems fully welded and hope to have 12 next week. After welding there is still polishing and final fitment on the car. I still don't have final shipment dates. I will keep everyone updated with what I know. Just hang in there a little longer.

No need for popcorn here. Me and justnspace already went at, kissed and made up and it's good.
I hope u and Aaron are just kidding with each other. I agree it takes 2 minutes. He must be super busy cuz I can't even get him to text me back for 3 weeks now

yeah man that sucks he hasn't gotten back to you, but also keep in mind the guy probably gets a TON of texts/calls daily.
not gonna speak for him, but one can assume he is diligently working on a lot of things right now, not just this exhaust.
no worries man, when they do ship, we'll install it same day and take her out for a spin.

The fact that I bought my Type S about 3 weeks after the 1st batch rolled out and I found someone who waited forever, bought it, then couldn't afford it. I swooped it right up and haven't looked back since.
I even felt compelled to put a rv6 J-pipe on the front of it.
He even tried to sell it at a markup. Bought it for what the original price was.

I bet Aaron is a great guy in person, but we are just on different frequencies...I think he knows me well enough to know all my wrong buttons and he pushes them very well.....
I have never met him and hence usually give him the benefit of doubt and dont hold a grudge....

I have had my TD's on for quite some time now and am still very happy with them. I also had to wait for a long time while the exhaust was in its initial production. I am sure that the boys at RV-6 are working as had as they can to get the product out. You have to trust this... Let the man do his job and stop texting him every day/week etc...
I do agree that communication could be better, but in the end, nothing is better then the RV-6 exhaust. Be patient boys and girls and before you know it you will have 3 boxes sitting at your house waiting for you to open them. At that moment you will know that it was worth the wait
Would it help you all if I said that I spoke with him and he said that the exhaust will be shipped soon???
