Hi Josh,
So the ETD must be the super secret project you were working on
Is the ETD developed in conjunction with the your new motor mounts?
Will the addition of the ETD relieve some of the stresses on the motor mounts themselves?
Will this also add engine vibrations to the cabin as the stiffer mounts do?
I still haven't bought my mounts. That shipper must be something. It's been several weeks in transit.

The ETD is done. I've gotten everything packaged and all the hardware, brackets, etc manufactured.
The mounts are supposed to be delivered Friday but I'm confirming that now to see if it's actually true. I was told they were going to be delivered numerous times already.

I respectfully ask that we cut Excelerate some slack. 
I had stumbled across something and seen where Excelerate had to spend considerable time. He had to spend his late afternoon tending to that. That was obviously an unplanned interruption to getting the new items posted for us.

It's too bad he had to be so secretive about this stuff. I would have gladly gone with him but ended up going with IM instead because of the delays.
It would have been nice if we at least knew what would make his design better. I asked and was told to go IM because I was being persistent and wasn't sure when I would actually need them.

Excelerate has explained in previous post that he is at the mercy of his supplier/manufacturer. The supplier/manufacturer has been slipping numerous times on the promised shipping date to Excelerate. This is outside of Excelerate's control.
Performance parts for the TL is a small niche market. That is, there is just a few of us TL owners that are willing to purchase these obscure products. As such, we and Excelerate are not in a position that carries too much clout with a supplier/manufacturer. Therefore, patience is the better part of valor.

If you don't think I understand patience, remember I am a fully paid turbo customer.
No need to explain the obvious to me.

The reason that we don't give much information is that we get bombarded with PM's, emails, phone calls, etc asking us when the parts are coming and how much and again when are they coming. My shipment was delayed almost 2 months. Manufacturer ETA's are generally pretty off it seems. So I will release the info when I have the product in hand; now I do. So I'm taking pics and forming threads now.

I asked once a month or so where they were because you did let out that you were working on them.
What I still fail to understand is why you wouldn't say why I should wait for your product. If you could have given me one or two worms to chew on, I would have waited. Instead, you essentially told me to go away. Marketers are constantly touting new products and their gotta have new features before they have product in hand.
It's not an issue for me. I just placed my order last week and I understand I am only one person and you don't necessarily need my money but things would have been different if it were approached differently.
I'll stop now....

To all,
I understand your frustration and I would feel the same way if it happened to me.
I just want all of us to treat our vendors more nice. It is very hard dealing with customers in general. Money can compensate just so much to a limit. Our TL vendors and manufacturers are not getting rich from us. There are too few of us. They make the equivalent of "beer money" from us.
If we are too difficult to get along with (even if we are right and they are wrong), our vendors and manufacturers will leave us. And, I don't see many other vendors/manufacturers waiting to fill the void.

Are you his momma or something? The last time I heard play nice was in a sandbox when I was 5yrs old.
I'm not bashing Josh and I understand where you are coming from. But at no time was I 'not nice'. I am actually trying to help him out.
I've bought a few things from him with no problems and he has always been responsive. I am just trying to figure out his mentality of withholding information and how it affected where I shopped.
I've been though bad days and good days and I have ALWAYS admitted when I was wrong and apologized when appropriate. But I'll be a long gone before I kiss someones ass just so they stick around.

The delays are one thing that I understand completely.

Ok we get it bro; you're upset. It's time to move on. And no no one said you need to suck up to vendors but it's members like Inaccurate that make it worth while. I'm not sure people understand how much time, effort, and money we have invested in making new products for TL members. And advertising on AZ isn't cheap either. I've tied up a significant amount of capital in new projects for the 3rd gen TL and for over 6 months now too. So be patient; I'm moving as fast I can. I'm not a huge corporation with endless funds and time.

KN,
I understand and apologize for stirring up your frustration.
On a side note - Married life (at least a successful marriage) will teach a guy to apologize constantly for stuff he did AND didn't do. Sorry dear, sorry dear

I'm sorry you feel that way. I have already had dozens of ppl calling me over the months asking me for info and ETA's on these mounts. We have experienced numerous delays due to the manufacturer and I didn't want to give any info until I had the product in hand. That's just how I am. I'm not a big fan of pre-selling or hyping products I don't have in hand. IIRC, you seemed to need a set of mounts pretty quickly so all I said was to go with Innovative if you needed an immediate solution. It's not like I said go fly a kite. I have a lot of capital tied up in these mounts, a lot. I'm just as interested in getting them finished but I didn't want to rush them either and the more info I give the more time I have to waste telling ppl oh hold another week and then another week and then another week. People get mad about that stuff thus the reason I don't post up info until I have them.
Now I have them. Expect a number of threads shortly.

I guess all I am trying to explain is that being that tight lipped lost you a sale. I will still consider you for other items because I have had nothing but good service from you.
I would think people being mad for being late is better than losing sales...
Ok, now I am done. Back on topic.

I can't wait to see the final product. I've been holding myself back from buying the IM, hope these are better quality and last forever lol. No one has answered the question about the torque damper. What is it and what does it do?

Anyone pull the trigger on the XLR8 exhaust with the new PRT (Purge Resonance Technology) technology?
I am ready to bite the bullet but would like to hear some feedback first.
Thanks in advance,
paweł
