9/25 became 10/23?
Are you guys sure these are made in the USA? This is starting to sound like the time it takes to manufacture and ship from China. Starting to think maybe fabrication is done overseas and just welding is finished in USA. Or something along those lines.
The fact that delays are usually 3+ weeks makes me feel like they're waiting on something from overseas. Shipping from China to Long Beach, CA typically takes 2 weeks. Then there's the custom clearance time which adds up to about a week.

I know I've waited this long, but to me at least it's about principle. Fast Intentions openly tells you about the wait and what to expect, so your expectations are tempered from the get go. But this "oh next week, nvm next month" situation is a little much. Is it just Tony making these exhausts himself in his garage on weeknights? Have they replaced the welders with apes? For one of the most expensive exhaust systems for our cars, I expected more.

And you ordered yours in June?!?! How have you not cancelled your order yet? I'm assuming this update pushes mine back as well and to be honest I'm considering canceling my order. For all of this I could have easily sourced a regular RWD sedan E370 and modified the y-pipe on my own time (probably would cost me a lot less too).

Thats exactly how I feel. It’s worth the wait and I’ll regret if I cancel the order but I’m definitely disappointed. No, I ordered mine August 8. I don’t think I would have any patience left had I ordered back in June. I left a sharp email. It’s like we are getting strung along. Staying true as possible to estimated completion dates clearly is not a priority for them and that’s what I said.

Ah okay so we ordered around the same time I guess. I ordered mine around the 16th or so. I know it's worth the wait too but I'm conflicted. I ordered through a vendor and I'm waiting on the "update" email to officially tell me that you and I are in the same boat here. Until then I'm quietly eyeballing GT Haus systems.....

My decent exhaust on a budget:

2.5" true duals into Super44 series Flowmasters, 4" painted tips.

No worries! Stuff happens. Great to hear dude, post up some pics and sound clips! A prototype eh? Now that is odd, what did you order?

Youre totally right and it is. The GT Haus idea came and went very quickly. Unfortunately, now I’m having thoughts about going single (nothing to do with waiting times). I’m giving it time to see if I’ll like the idea when the initial spark passes.

Yea, not the final version, my blue tips don't even fit, i gotta call Motordyne to see if i can get another one. I got the one for the AWD. I'll get some pics when i can get her on a lift for a better view

Let me get this straight though, you were waiting since June and they sent you a prototype that had parts that didnt fit and now you’ve got to call them and have them ship (possibly another wait) you the right stuff? Discount or not (unless it was practically free), that just seems incredibly sloppy to me.

Oh my, that sounds so good. Thanks for the video. I needed that as I impatiently wait for the next estimated completion date.

I wonder if they sent you mine?! Lol I’ve been waiting on an AWD version. It sounds absolutely beastly man and I am glad you are happy with it!
