I ordered mine 17 weeks ago! 17 WEEKS ! I called my vendor several times, but I keep getting told, "HKS is waiting on the container." What the fack does that mean?

Has anybody else been waiting this long?

Geeez . . . 17 weeks? I placed my order some 3 weeks ago. I thought that if I got my exhaust installed by year's end, that would be fine. However, It appears it might take longer than that based on what I have read.

Who did you place your order with, if I may ask? I placed my order through Creative Autoworks.

I trust you get your exhaust very soon.

Just an FYI, I talked to HKS today, and they said that well sadly, the container hasn’t even left yet I am told that we should expect our exhausts near the end of Nov, meaning you guys should get your exhausts just in time for an early X mas gift, for those who have waited since June, my apology to you all, however this matter is out of every vendors hands, we just ask that you remain patient with us all and we'll do our best to provide you with the best customer service possible.

James, I know it is out of your folks' hands. Everyone is just waiting in anticipation to get their new toy installed.

I was just wondering if you are going to receive your entire allotment/request of the HKS Hi-Power exhaust?

Not to hijack this thread, but since we are talking HKS......

How much louder than my Borla (with Crawford cats) system would it be if I replaced it with an HKS system?

Thanks,

Jeff

PM James at CreativeAutoworks for pricing. I ordered mine via a premier member group buy through CreativeAutoworks. The upcoming HKS shipments for all vendors may have all been set aside for preorders already. Good luck!

yes we have given 15, meaning we still have a few left over, but outside of the 15 we dont know how many more on top of it we will get. I'll be talking to them at SEMA.

PM or call if any of you guys have any questions.
