In my experience I can say that these problems are very common. And they shouldn't be.

I want to see the tracking number, post it up, than we will all know.

its one thing to not do the work, but to take someone's parts and not return them, or their phone calls and let them know whats up, damn,

I've been following this thread with a lot of interest because I was thinking to get it done as well, but in the past 2 years I already dealt twice with these problems. The result is that in both occasions I was with no car for months (10 months and 3 months exactly). It was so stressful, hard to believe for who never experienced it. I don't think I can go thru it again.

FF ACE got screwed over just like this from a Local. After me digging for the guys new number he got his spare head back from the machine shop that flowed it with nothing done to it. He even had to pay for the flow, which was useless.

you can go to a sema show but cant keep your customers satisfied?? I would be pissed to see some **** like that especially being that my balt is primary mod of transportation, business is business and seems like he took his parts and brushed off FF Ace's business after being paid and receiving parts, hope the parts he got in the original post arent FF ace's damn...hard for anyone to send parts to him now with this topic still lingering going into mid of 2nd month. wouldnt get my money thats for sure nor my recommendation this is crazy, and before you talk **** bout me I spend money on my car, you can ask anyone who has ever posted a performance parts in the classified no BS i ask for ur paypal and send u a payment 4mins later, so far im well north of 6k in 5 months. FF Ace your a good dude hope this works out for u man.

Its a shame but alot of business people think that its ok to not return calls or respond to txt, but what they forget is the money we pay them aint just for the work thats being done, its also for the ability to call them for updates and to be notified if something is gonna take longer and the least u could have done was make sure his **** was shipped before u left to go to sema but blame everything on sandy

This little bit of porting cannot do much. .030" per side (or so) is what is being removed (thickness of a finder nail).

The need is a larger plenum, straight equal length runners.

This is like a ported exhaust manifold to a header. The header is going to have so much more gains....

So,

You piece of ****, where the **** is the head and why is that tracking saying delivered but he has no head? I really hope that you have dug yourself a hole and get sued. If this is your shop you need to get shut down for being a crook and if you just work for this shop, fired! You've shown to be an irresponsible *****. I'm hoping you get sued for your actions and never work again for any shop. Using Sandy as a way to cover **** up is pathetic. Nick, post all his info up(Name, address etc) for everyone to see.


Police report has been filed and PD's are contacting each other along with the dispute filed with paypal. You become a bad guy when you don't come through with what you say and the above just proved it. This guy needs to be banned.

Looks like he jammed an air grinder down each port, blind folded for all of about 20 seconds each. Wow...

Good luck Nick.

Yah this port job is total crap. OP, you need to send FF ACE his money and parts back and walk away from this site. If this was the quality he was going to receive I would have told him we could have done it for free and it would have been 100X better.

Those ports are wavy! It is not a smooth radius. The port shape is completely out of wack.
