well guys, this may amaze you.... but so far my service experience with Cobalt Addiction has been just fine.

i actually had a convo with them, even showed them pics proving 2.2 downpipes have two o2 bungs. as a result, they are planning to update their site with this info.

they told me i'm looking at about 5 business days before shipment of the item, as they informed me they build each downpipe to-order.

so, unless something drastically changes, Cobalt Addiction will get a great customer service review from me.

Atleast they respond to you, both times I bought stuff from ottp it took them over two months on each order and they only sent the **** out after I left several voicemails, emails, and PM's on here... Speaking of, my rotors and rear sway still arent in and it will be two months on the 2nd of April. Unless I need a specific part I am never buying from them again.

Yep, Gary(twiztedco) and I cant figure it out because he gets all his stuff within a few days...
Over The Top Performance, have good products and a lot of exclusives but suck in the customer service dept.

First order was CTI DP, brake lines, steering rack spacers, EBC Pads... the DP came in after a month, everything else came in about 3 weeks later.
Second order was EBC rotors, OTTP Hardcore bar. I emailed them twice and called them a few days ago. Finally got it out of them that the rotors were on backorder so they refered me to another brand which I had to settle for... Took them two months of me harassing them to find that out... Bad overall experience.

Wellll the downpipe is on its way as of today! Cobalt Addiction/AudioXTC kept me in the loop when I asked about the status, and the shipment date they gave was right when they said it would be.

So, review in a few days! finally the 2.2 will breath a lil better haha
