my apologies then. It originally came off as condescending, but once you explained it I understand. I personally can't stand cars with any ridiculous drone. I actually just drove an AP2 tonight that had a dual 4 inch exhaust with the stock cat and wanted to hang myself due to the excess noise. I think realistically the single exhaust with this midpipe equipped is still extremely tolerable. I took a client out in the car and I hadn't received a single comment on the loudness of the car at all, he actually thought it was stock because of it's very subtle demeanor when at cruising speeds.

ok,

now that we are on the same page. my silly powerful searching skills say your loud and my loud are very, very different. i know how old you are..

so i note the dual can midpipe + hks single side. likely to be way to loud. but i would never do a single side...

sucks getting old.

btw,

scott update??????

I also saw my age in comparison to yours. I still can't stand drone. That's why when originally talking with scott in the preorder days I was immediately sold based soley on the massive noise reduction. Age and taste really mean squat to me, it's all about your preference. You'd be surprised :lol2:

how does the single drone on the highway with the dual can midepipe?

beers :beer:

The RB single + Masport midpipe is very interesting. At low RPM I can make it quiet, but under low load going up hills, it reminds me of my buddies Dakota SUV when you roll the back windows down, and all of the sudden you think your eardrums are going to pop out due to the reverberating low frequency wha wha wha sound...

But, the fun starts when you hit the on ramp, and give it real load. It sounds like I'm a Nascar Beast - very low throaty growling mean SOB. It is the most amazing sound that I think the Renesis can produce.

My problem is the low load hill climb, and around town between buildings - it's a tad much. So, I'm putting my RB dual back on, but with downward facing tips due to the new bumper mod.

I have been requested to leave my single on until the local club members meet up on the 27th as they come out my way on their "Winding Road" cruise to the Ocean. They are going to video tape me.

After that, I need to change it, because I have to take the war department over Blewett Pass to Wenatchee for the NW Rotor Rally at the Apple Blossom Festival.

so if i ordered this on monday, when would it ship?. Is there a line just like on the ignition solution? (thats not a complaint by the way)

We are out of stock at the moment, waiting on parts.:banghead:

I have been told they will arrive "soon".

Swoop is right, we are filling spots for the next build now, hmmm, wonder how he knew that?

this may be redundant but i have the pipe and one of the 1st RB"s catback ever made and i love the sound out of this car now---absoulutely love it. cruise is quiet almost oem --but when you want her to sing--she is at home. At this rate if Scott made a birdhouse I would buy it and i hate birds!

Excellent OD!

That two fold personality is exactly what we were trying to achieve!

Thanks, Scott

Blah I really hope mine ships soon!!! I'm dying to hear what it sounds like!!

Scott, I just ordered mine today. any idea on when these will ship. We talking one week or one month.

Should get my Ignition Solution tommorw also. :)

Thanks

im one of the unlucky few that ordered my midpipe right before the dreaded backorder.

I think ive been waiting 6 weeks max.

and i dont think the wait will be nearly that long for you because you in the next build run.

Will this part work good with the mazsport turbo kit???Cause i was thinking of a full race pipe 3" with an exhaust control valve to control the sound but if this isnt too freakin loud in cruising cause i have single center exhaust 3" and i wont have probs with the turbo i ll go fo it.


Also any Sound clips or videos from this part???PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE

Chris, of course this pipe will work with the Mazsport turbo kits!:)

Here's a vid;

http://www.mazsport.net/multimediadualdriveby.htm

Well this is tooooooo quiet...Thanx Charles

Just helpin' a couple of my friends out.;)

now people are complaining about pipes being too quiet? haha

now thats funny!!

You can add me to the list of lucky individuals who ordered this midpipe...
Now I'm anxiously waiting for that tracking number to arrive in my email (I know that it might be a couple weeks).
I have an Agency Power cat-back with the stock cat (the single resonated pipe was too annoying) and an AEM CAI.
So I'll try to make a before and after video with the Dual Resonated midpipe.

Scott, any news on the whereabouts of the gaskets? Thanks.

My guess is the gaskets will be here with the next order of resonators

Glad to hear that you love it because I have one on order. Going to pair it with MS CAI and CB. Going to be sweet :)

Hey Scott... just curious if you have an idea when the next shipment will be and will these include the gaskets.

hey im wanting to pull the trigger on this midpipe today but i want to know how long shipping would take and what power gains along with cat back would i be looking at??

still, is it really worth the 470$???? -_- I want a new midpipe and exhaust setup right now that would be quiter than the one I have

but god damn, 470?!?!

well i have the greddy sp2 cat back but im wanting a mid pipe but if its not worth it then i wont go for it id rather get me a ps3 with GTA4

The midpipe does wonders for quieting down the exhaust without compromising performance. The quality is top notch. Gains fall right into line with other catless pipes.. Whether its worth it is up to you. It was to me

Which is why I purchased it. I have a single resonator midpipe and loved the noticeable gain, but could not stand the loudness after a few months. So its worth it to someone wanting a free-flowing exhaust without having to shift up an extra gear to quiet the noise or turn the radio up loud just to hear the words.

There were two frame braces under the stock mid pipe that no longer fit the car; what did you do about the removal of those?

Am I doing it wrong?

I just left mine off.

Interesting... I reinstalled mine without any complications. :dunno:
Unfortunately, I have my stock cat back on so I can't take a picture to prove it.

I Google searched like crazy trying to find an under-body picture of the AP exhaust... maybe the extra resonator on Mazsport's midpipe is whats causing you to be unable to install the braces back on. I'll let you know how my install goes once I get it. Still haven't received a tracking number.

Hey scott, any idea on when the new pipes will ship?

I just left mine off.

Same here my xs exhaust wouldn't fit. So I had to leave it off

I guess parts are on backorder so who knows

The sound of this pipe coupled to my RB dual is the sound of pure sex

And this very weekend I'm putting on my ignition solution, my RB exhaust and my Mazsport Midpipe, I'm giddy like a little girl!

when did you order and when did you get it in. Just trying to get some kind of idea since I havn't gotten an answer through here or from the site.

And this very weekend I'm putting on my ignition solution, my RB exhaust and my Mazsport Midpipe, I'm giddy like a little girl!

Me too! My ignition solution comes tomorrow, so do my new brake pads! Then I have a tint appointment for Saturday. GREAT weekend!

when did you order and when did you get it in. Just trying to get some kind of idea since I havn't gotten an answer through here or from the site.

Have you tried just simply calling them?
I called Betsy a few days ago because I ordered the Racing Beat intake with the ram air duct... when I questioned about the status of the midpipe, she informed me that her hands were tied waiting for parts to come from overseas and go through customs (which can be a pain). She didn't feel like it should take much longer to get the next batch of midpipes shipped... but it all depends on when they receive the parts (I'm guessing gaskets... I forgot to ask if thats what they were waiting for).

Add me to the list of ppl that have ordered one of these, and is still waiting for it to be delivered. Just so others have an idea of wait time, I placed my order on April 5th. Since then I've seen at least 4 other members ask for updates, but still haven't seen a tentative date or anything.

I had a member who gave me his because he didn't need one for awhile but I ordered mine at the end of March. So technically I'm still waiting

Oh wow.. I just ordered mine last week!

Betsey said they are busy building them and waiting on parts and should be ready to ship in the next three weeks.. and this tuesday scott told me that it would take 2 weeks after this week..

I just hope this doesnt turn into another ignition solution wat once again...
If i ordered my turbo kit from them id prob wait a YEAR!

but ill give em the benefit of the doubt.. Ill be patiently waiting..
Hope it yeilds some boost in power..

but it prob will only give like what???
2-5 HP :lol:

you will be glad you wanted!
olddragger

Its worth the wait the sound is amazing!!

Hey Guys!

I just spoke with my supplier and we will be receiving back ordered parts next week!

Rest assured, as soon as they are delivered we will be building and shipping immediately.

I also ordered enough supplies so the delay will be a thing of the past.

We appreciate you continued support and patience.

Thanks, Scott

Ah, Thanks for the update Scott. I was starting to think you have forgotten about our midpipes. The wait has turned into not that big of deal for me. Maybe you should just throw in a Mazsport hoodie or Shirt for a special thanks for waiting gift..lol... make that an XL also. :lol:

How about another update, did you get the parts in this week as expected?

i just completed a track w/e with the coils and the midpipe---worth every penny! people couldnt believe i had a midpipe on!
olddragger

^ Really happy to hear that. Have one on order and don't want it to be too loud with MS CAI and MS exhaust

Also done a trackday and a week of driving with the midpipe, my 3 yr old CorkSport Exhaust (argeably one of the louder catbacks), and coils. I think it may now be a tad quieter than with the CAT actually, certainly no louder.

You guys are teasing... I'm still waiting for my tracking number.
My mid-pipe is supposed to be on the next shipment.
Can't wait.

Yeah, but the question is when is it going to get here. I was told over the phone that is would "absolutely be here by the 23rd". It’s a poor business practice to take money for a product you can’t deliver in a timely manner.

How about another update, did you get the parts in this week as expected?

+1 Shipping this week?

Good News! We just received parts! We will be building midpipes and filling orders in the order they were placed.

More good news, the new gaskets we are using are guaranteed not to blow out!

We appreciate your patience while waiting on these components to arrive. Rest assured if I could have squeezed the suppliers any harder to speed things up I would have done so.

Thanks Guys, Scott

:icon_droo Thanks for keeping us updated Scott...

Anyone have the Mazsport midpipe with the Agency Catback exhaust? I had the AP midpipe on and it was too loud for my taste so I went back to stock cat and AP catback, and now I love how it sounds. Wondering if anyone has the Mazsport midpipe and the AP exhaust. How does it sound?

I have the AP catback...
I too thought the midpipe was too loud, so I put the cat back on.
I'll let you know how MazSport's midpipe sounds once its installed.

Thanks Jon316G. I'm very curious about this. And will most likely buy provided it doesnt make my head implode.

How many of you got CEL's with this pipe?

everyone should get a CEL with this pipe. There is no cat material at all so it will trow a code. Alot of people just use something like Cobb to shut it off though or just have to live with the light being on.

We shipped Midpipes this week guys and will be building and shipping more next week! Keep an eye on your email.

We appreciate your business and continued support, Scott

good. I just placed an order on one last night to compliment my hks hi power.

it's just way to loud and really needs a lesson.

any news for me scott? btw, please check my last email. ;)

beers :beer:

Hey Scott-Betsey how fast can you have one ready and shipped out to Greece cause i m installing finally the kit these days and i have the stock cat on...

How could you live with CEL being on? If something wrong happened to the engineparts you wouldn't know it?!

I hav ethe sCANalyser to i will know if anor or anything goes wrong. Plus the COBB AP will shut off just the light for the cat. so if anything goes wrong anywhere else with the car and or motor then it will still throw a CEL.

+1 ^^

I cant wait to get mine.. =D

maybe this week mine will be shipped scott?????

o5rx8mazda@aim.com

Martin, Martinez

According to the tracking I'm supposed to receive mine tomorrow! Can't wait!

Thanks Scott/Betsey!

I installed the midpipe today, and here are my concerns:


1) I have a clearance issue with the rear resonator hitting the OEM cross brace. This will generate a rattle and also wear a hole in the resonator. I think I will just add shims between the brace and the car's frame. Do you see that fix to be an answer?


2) I have a clearance issue with the rear resonator close to this shield. Might rattle here also one day.


3) Not sure about how to use the middle bung, it seems to high. It might have been rotated down 10-15 degrees, then it would be no problem. I'm not using a wideband currently, so this can be changed later buy just drilling in a new bung maybe.


4) I notice that you do not re-use the donut gasket between the midpipe and the exhaust connecting pipe. Not using one means that there is no flexible joint in the entire system. Do you have a 3" donut for me to use? If not where can I buy one?


Any suggestions?

I'm looking to pick up a highflow Cat that is as silent as possible. I have the SR Motorsports on my 8 right now, and it's just fantastic and LOUD.... and frankly, I'm getting kind of sick of it. Is this dual resonator setup on a Cat-Less Pipe? or a Highflow Cat?

I really like the look of this thing. I wouldn't mind picking it up, so long as I can still pass "air care".

Seems like some people encounter the mazsport midpipe being to close to the crossmember braces and requires the use of spacers. Doesn't the spacers reduce the effectiveness of the braces?

I am looking at adding the autoexec body and transmission stiffeners. By the looks of it they are more intrusive into the exhaust space than stock braces so would need an even larger spacer to fit with the mazsport midpipe.

Any ideas? Wondering if its the quality control of the midpipe (hand welded i'm assuming so there will be some variance from one pipe to the next resulting in some people having clearance issues) or if its a change from the 04 to the 08 model years for exhaust routing?

Really not looking to having to take a cutting wheel or torch to my 8 to make things fit.

i know this might sound retardd.. but will this allow flames to pop out with the catback setup also? is this considered to be "high flow cat" and you have to beable to feel some HP gain with this correct?

will this allow flames to pop out with the catback setup
YES!

is this considered to be "high flow cat"
NO, its just a straight pipe with two resonators. Also, you'll receive a CEL
(and I'm waiting for TeamRX8 to chime in about how you'll kill our o-zone :lol: which isn't a lie, he just gets fired up on this topic :) )

you have to be able to feel some HP gain with this correct?
You will feel a differance.

HMMM... i dont want the dummy light on... so il have to invest in COBB and the midpipe at once, so the code will be gone huh?

HMMM... i dont want the dummy light on... so il have to invest in COBB and the midpipe at once, so the code will be gone huh?

DING DING DING... what do we have for him Johnny (sorry... crazy day :Eyecrazy: ).

HMMM... i dont want the dummy light on... so il have to invest in COBB and the midpipe at once, so the code will be gone huh?

I have an 89 dollar ODBC2 meter to clear mine, once cleared, it stays gone.

BTW: the code it gives in ODBC2 is "420"

I think the clearance issue is due to the mid-pipe being made to fit the Mazsport motor mounts which raise the engine 3/4 inch.
Also, you may get strange A/F fluctuations with this if you get the 3 inch model, I think(WAG) it has to do with the front resonator being near the manifold O2 sensor.

I did go from 254 RWHP to 296 RWHP with this and a REV8 exhaust.

That might explain a few things.

Hey Scott, can you confirm this?

I did go from 254 RWHP to 296 RWHP with this and a REV8 exhaust.

ah, i didnt see in your sig at first that you are boosted :) :banghead:

really???? thats strange cause someone here has put the renesis on an engine dyno and COMPLETELY removed the exhaust altogether and didnt pick up even half that much power.....

that combo must be some sort of magical duo to flow better than no exhaust at all:icon_no2:

ah, i didnt see in your sig at first that you are boosted :) :banghead:

i thought the same way

i thought the same way


Cinnamon from the CenFl board said the 40 HP was "Cause my car was constipated before changing the exhaust"
:lol:

Is there anyway to get the Dual Resonator Mid Pipe thats meant for stock engine mounts(for us NA guys)?

Also why are the mazsport mounts an extra 3/4 inch up? That would raise the center of gravity. Unless they are meant to accomodate turbo plumbing?

I think 3/4" is not even close. It seems to move the engine back little bit, and there is no way it raised it more than a 1/4" if that. Otherwise my intake would be slamming into my Mazdaspeed Strut tower non-stop.

will it harm anything not putting the braces back in as far as body rigidity goes?

Why bother? I have installed this into a "normal" NA 8 without incident. If it isn't fitting, are your mounts blown? I installed on an 04 though.

I agree if they fit, then yes install them. I am still awaiting on shipment... but i suppose that i will know when it comes and i go to install it.

I have an 07 MT Rx8. I got the 3/4 inch from an earlier post. I would hate to have to lower the crossmember brace as a lot of the driveways here are pretty steep. Hate to rack it on a chunk of concrete and bend or break it.

Will have to get out the tape measure and see if that lowering spacer would put it below the MS bodykit.

We are doing a large build run next week and I believe we will be caught up!

Does Scott tend to wait until the end of the week to ship everything out at once or does he send them out as they are built?
ok... so I'm a little excited and impatient... like a kid waiting for Christmas morning :)

any news for me scott? btw, please check my last email. ;)

beers :beer:
Email sent!

The variation in catbacks, turbo manifolds and headers on the market effect the position of the midpipe. The spacers which will lower the brace by aprox. 5/8 of an inch are not required on all exhaust systems. That said, we will be including spacers with all midpipes for those of you that need them. Scott

hey scott will this pip fit well with the greddy cat back system?

It's only the rear brace that is my issue. Currently I have that one brace off the car since it got mangled from me placing it too low. I could use your spacers when you get a chance to read this thread again.

So will i have a prob installing this?Due to i have the autoexe member brace under tha car and also i have the mazsport motormounts and a single exhaust from the center..

And btw all the mazsport midpipes are 3" right?Cause i ve read somewhere that the 3" model and i guessed maybe the have more models or something

Yup.... still waiting....

((EDIT))

Ok, well I just got off the phone with MazSport and guess what, they are still waiting on parts even though I got this PM 5/27/2008.

"We received parts! Are you back in the country or still out working?

We are going a million miles an hour over here, Scott"

Ok so here's the good news (maybe) they expect the pre silencers to be in at the latest on Friday and they will start building.
But, unfortunately for me this whole episode has completely turned me off of their products, from the shipping issues on the pipes, and ignition set, the dwell issues that were not disclosed on the ignition sets, and finally the run around that I've been getting. I have never had to wait this long for something I've ordered, and I've ordered things while in Iraq. I will however be glad when it gets here and I hope it will be well made and have no fitment issues. The big thing is, I don’t like to be fed bull.

I apologize for the delay, we did receive part of our order and expect the remainder to be in this week. We have built and shipped as many units as we could and in the order they were purchased. This item is in high demand and when I sent you the pm I was not looking at the build sheet to see where you were on the list. Again I apologize for the delay. Scott

I just got a Mazsport midpipe for free on ebay!!!!!!!!!! I opened a dispute last week for not recieving an item and the seller canceled his account. I got an email today for a coupon worth $500 on my next ebay purchase. So I remembered seeing this midpipe on ebay and bought it. I have the Agency Power exhaust, which is stupid loud so this is going to be great! Oh and by the way....the item I never recieved that I opened a dispute about....I just got it today.....! Free midpipe FTW!

Just a suggestion...
maybe for those of us who have been waiting over a month for this should get upgraded shipping to help minimize our already extended delay :naughty:
Hey... can't blame a guy for trying! :)

I still like my free t-shirt, hoodie, or turbo kit idea for all of my troubles. :icon_no2:

05Rex8 and Jon316G can you please let me know how this midpipe sounds with the Agency catback? That is when you get it. I feel I am patiently awaiting orders, and I didnt even order anything!

^yeah, no prob...but by the time I install it, it might be awhile because I'm waiting on my turbo kit and am going to install it at the same time. The turbo is going to quiet it down as well too...so maybe Jon316G will be a better candidate for this :)

so maybe Jon316G will be a better candidate for this :)

Not a problem

Scott,
We've been good and have left you alone (on this site) for a week now. :)
Care to share when you expect the next mid-pipe shipment to be?

I ordered back on April 4th. I still haven't received mine which makes me wonder how far the backlog of orders is.

Of those that received theirs in the last shipment, what order dates did you guys have?

Fu@@ing shit...DAaaamn and i payed mine before some weeks and i though i would have it fast..Crap

All i ask for is daily or even weekly updates on what is going on.... on this webpage / There webpage / Email / Anything... Even if there update is "no status change". It makes me feel better to just hear there voice and ensure me I have made a right choice by purchasing this midpipe. I mean.. i spent alot of money on this part. Just my 2 cents

i have over a thousand dollars in paid for parts sittin at mazsport, asked for an update yesterday morning and still no update.

Hey guys we are currently building and will be shipping several more units this week!

http://www.knology.net/~el/3.gif

WooHoo!!!!!

WooHoo!!!!!

:lol: That .gif made my day... thanks hossfly

I hope mine will be shipped in time for my turbo kit installation....I really don't want to have to wait for the midpipe to install the kit or reinstall my AP mid pipe and then take it back off when the mazsport one comes in...

Hey guys we are currently building and will be shipping several more units this week!


Scott, please check you PM

I think im heading towards the third month of waiting.. If id known it would take this long i wouldnt have ordered it..

I was convinced not to return it and get my money back but after talkignt o scott i was assured theys be shipped as soon as they recieved parts.. this was about a month ago.. which i was told it would take 2 more weeks..

I am still patiently waiting..

I agree to we should be kept updated.. I keep checking in to this page to see if its updated but nothing! I dont like bothering people

^are you kidding me?! what a joke! Why can't they build a ton of these pipes and have a ton of them in stock...before advertising? It's not like they wouldn't know these would be such a hot item for the 8 community. To wait that long for an exhaust component is rediculous.

Why can't they build a ton of these pipes and have a ton of them in stock...before advertising?

Because then we would have been bugging him to release the pipes early.
Its a no win situation.

Awesome :D

I disagree.

sureeeeee

lawl, in that case who ever does the marketing for scott is an F'ing retard

Or Scott doenst have time to communicate with his employees and they do nothing..Cause i paid for a last unit on a part and after 2 week still they havent send it even though Scott told me it was going out asap,Betsey didnt know something so i still wait..

I disagree.

That's fine... everyone is entitled to their own opinion! :)
I just feel that when a company (any, not just for our cars) shares with others that they are going to release a new product, a lot of impatient people tend to constantly bug them for release dates.
I agree that a "safety queue" should have been generated before releasing... I'm not arguing that!
Charles knows a lot more about running a business than I do.
Again... that's just my opinion.

sureeeeee

lawl, in that case who ever does the marketing for scott is an F'ing retard

sigh... why do some people feel that they have to post to make themselves sound important to this site? :icon_no2:
Sometimes.... coming to this site can be a real turn-off. But I guess that was his opinion too. :)

For the record; I am not a hypocrite nor a thread-jacker as I invite my critics to post up whatever they have to say about my stuff and the way I handle my business. Nothing but a win-win that way.;)

Hey guys we are currently building and will be shipping several more units this week!

never heard that before.....

Nothing but a win-win that way.;)

I agree completely! :beerchug:

Ordered mine April 16.... Supposedly 5th in line last week I emailed them.

Ordered mine April 16.... Supposedly 5th in line last week I emailed them.

Wow... I ordered mine April 25th!
Hopefully I'm not too far down the list.

April 23rd here... atleast i know i am not last in line :lol2:

oh well, thats why you do a pre-order list before releasing the product :)

but all is good, its a small-scale business, if the customers still come back, they are fine

The only reason I do pre-order lists is so I can have an orderly dispatch of the units when they are ready. I already have a real good idea of how many of anything I make I will need and how long it will take to sell them. That's the BHR way, anyway. Speaking of that..........

thats the problem with me, I'm done.

Hey guys we are currently building and will be shipping several more units this week!

So anyone here one of the lucky individuals who got theirs shipped this week?
Seeing that it is after 7pm Friday (EST), I'm guessing that the units he was able to finish this week are shipped out already.......
I guess I was too far down the list.... :rolleyes:
Maybe zxiong711 and Phish806 got luckier than me.

well, I know I'm one of the first on the list so I'm guessing none got shipped..... he's got another week before I ask for a refund.

I just recieved and email with my tracking number! It shipped out of Florida at 6:28PM. I don't know when mine was ordered becuase I purchased from someone on the forum that , I assumed, ordered a while ago. Hopefully this means there will be alot more shipping next week!

Yea I asked for my refund but he assured me in another 2 more weeks.. Its been almost 4 weeks hahaha

Gotta have a little patiente but i knwo its hard... I dont even know what number i am on the list.. has anyone called and asked.. i just checked my email and no tracking number

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!

I will remaint patient and wait.. I will give another two weeks before i call and ask for my money back..

I also received a FedEx tracking number today.


I ordered back on April 4th. I still haven't received mine which makes me wonder how far the backlog of orders is.

Of those that received theirs in the last shipment, what order dates did you guys have?

Nope... Notta. :eyetwitch

WHAT? And you said that you were 5th in line (supposedly)?
WOW... for almost the same price, the CobbAccess Port is starting to sound real nice right about now.

you guys are sounding like spoiled little kids.

Have any of you ordered parts directly from Japan before? Want to talk about a long wait, and often times those parts are already made!

Scott is doing a wonderful thing for this community, his product is unmatched to date, rest assured you will be satisfied. I know it's hard for some people, but I'm used to waiting a lot longer than 1-2 months for a part...... Just grow up and deal with it.

Before any of you say anything, I waited for both the midpipe and the ignition, I have nothing but great things to say about both and would wait the same if not more time if i had to do it again.

I got my AutoEXE spark plug wires from Japan.
Got them within a couple weeks (took longer going through customs than it did getting to/receiving from customs :) )

That's because they are stocked in the USA as well. Good try though ;)

Wow... then you must really suck at shopping for parts :lol:

If they were stocked in US... why did I receive a box with custom's stickers on them (and my tracking showed it going through customs)?

Beats me, but if you order anything that takes welding or a body part- good luck getting that in a month without paying almost the value of the part for shipping.

I would agree with that!
Listen... you can call me (us) spoiled little brats and tell me (us) to grow-up all you want, I really don't care to argue with or down-play people on the internet... its just retard.
Just to clarify... my comment about possibly changing my mind and going with the Cobbaccess Port was not meant to be a "slap in the face" to Scott or MazSport.
I only meant that it probably would have been better to purchase the Cobbaccess Port first and wait for the mid-pipe supply to become more available.
My apologies for not making that clear. I just wanted something new to tweak with this summer with my car.
:beerchug:

I'm saying I do understand your frustration, but everyone here does not know how to have extended patience. I guess not everyone has that capability, and I suppose everyone is differrent so I can't fault you. Scott sells fully tested and researched products that are hand made. This is a product worth waiting for.

Years ago when I had my integra type R, I remember waiting over 5 months for a flywheel from Spoon sports. This was the norm, and I knew this going in. I was just very appreciative to know I had a piece that was not mass produced and had the utmost attention to detail in it's engineering. I get this same sense of reassurance everytime a product from mazsport is waiting for me.

You won't be let down man, trust me.

I think Jon's assessment of your shopping skills is accurate. I bought a AutoExe rear trunk lid from japanparts.com in February '07 for 80,800 Japanese Yen ($697 at the time) and only 3,000 of that was for freight and insurance. It shipped via boat from Narita and arrived in less then 3 weeks. Good try though.

Beats me, but if you order anything that takes welding or a body part- good luck getting that in a month without paying almost the value of the part for shipping.

Again, you were lucky. Ask anyone with any real knowledge of dealing with body parts ESPECIALLY, why do you think there are so many members who waited MONTHS to get their parts in? Search a bit before you make statements like that... Apparently you are just new to the scene.

Redefine

you're missing the point........when you buy something, You buy something, you get it shipped OUT to you, I don't care if the shipping is 1 week, or 2 weeks, as long as it is shipped out

I bought alot of stuff from the east coast, and from ChrisM on this website, which takes about a week to arrive in CA, that is TOTALLY fine with me, along as it was shipped out. granted I did buy stuff from Mazsport before, and they shipped them in a timely manner. However, if people who already bought your stuff (paid for it) haven't gotten their items shipped out in 2-3 weeks, your business has a problem

on the other hand, if you say "pre-order" and "300$ deposit (roughly the cost to make the midpipe)" and use that money to build the midpipe (because it is obvious to me this business is not that high on Credits and LC) then when it is completed the customers can pay the rest and you ship it out on that very day......... this would stop fustration on both sides..........and would be much more ownage, as I said, your Marketing and planning suck balls

then this is simple, don't buy their products.

could have sworn that was the conclusion I came too, but I'm still a little kid thats new to the scene mr. dec 2007

Thats how you judge peoples knowledge on things? Their forum life?

Thanks for proving me right, only a little brat would base peoples intelligence and experience based off of something that stupid. Let Scott's thread be, I'm sure he doesn't want to see this kind of shit in it anymore.

Ok, and since that was a direct attack to me you are now in violation of forum rules, I would thank you to keep your comments to yourself. I have alerted the mods that this is happening and asked for them to keep an eye on this thread and you.

If you want something different for me to base your "experience" on; your two days older then me. I'm young, and I am by no way grown up. I learn things every day and in no way try to call people out to tell them they are being a baby when you’re clearly the only person here defending your point of view. You should consider humbling yourself a bit and you might not come off as someone who thinks they know everything.

Anyways RedefineRX8, I don't think you understand much. Just go to the Mazsport website and look at the midpipe. Try to find anything in there that says, "Please allow 8-9 weeks for delivery". Heck, I woudn't even be on this thread if they'd posted that up. If Mazsport would have put that on their site, or at least contacted the buyers and told them of the delay instead of us having to contact them weeks after wondering where our products were.
I mean nothing against Mazsport, I know they're a great asset to the RX8 community, just that simple measures could have been used to prevent some of us to lose our trust in a very respected Company on this site.

I don't know everything, but I'm not a cry baby or a tattletale :icon_tdow .

Scott should indeed take more responsibility and have someone give you guys more updates, but you are acting like you are the only ones going through with this and this is the first time. You HAD to have read all of the Mazsport threads. You know what to expect, EVERYONE waits. EVERYONE.

Also, in their defense with the amount of things they have going on down there in Florida just to help a handful of people (rotary community) all they do is catch shit from people. Yeah it sucks waiting that long for a part, especially when it's nice outside and you are itching to cruise with your new stuff. If you knew how many people worked there and the obstacles they are trying to overcome and the services they are providing with said staff you would be overly impressed that ANY of these products get developed, extensively tested, and even produced at all! They aren't doing this for charity, but at the same time they are not making a killing on this, they are doing it for the love of the cars. Try to see it from that perspective.

And btw, experience with cars is what I was talking about, not with being a forum whore.

As I've said before, noone is forcing you guys to buy their parts. You are acting like you all have guns pointed at your heads. If you are that pissed off and can't sit still any longer then cancel your order, it's your loss.

ugh, you make my head hurt.

When you give someone money for a product and that product can't be delivered in a timely manner and no warning was issued on delivery time delays, it is a very poor business practice. Defend it all you want, if it was, then everyone would do it and it would be common practice. But when people are saying "never waited this long for anything” that’s in a whole different category of wrong. I like to think I have been more then patient with them and that is solely based on their credit as a reputable company. Had it been anyone else I would have filed grievance and gotten my money back.

Look at it this way. I'm in the Bomb Squad, how well do you think it would go over if I were to get a call for an IED, tell them I'm on my way then go do a favor for a range and do a residue pick up and stay there for two months. Everyone is sitting there wondering where I am and I don’t have the courtesy to give them a call. I would be in jail.

Except in the bomb squad you have peoples lives at risk, in this scenario we are talking about car parts. Not a very good comparison.

I already said I agree that it sucks to wait this long. However whether right or wrong this has been the case for their parts and it has been documented throughout the forum. It's not like this information hasn't been hidden. That's all I'm getting at and I'll leave it there.

remember guys:

I'm leaving it alone too but just for your education, as long as a proper evac has been done, no one's life is at risk except the person working on it, and if I'm not there well, its just an inconvenience for everyone else.

Redefine, you seem to not understand.........anything..........

you keep saying Mazsport is helping the community etc etc, no, no and no

the day they start giving away ignition solutions and midpipes, offer free (now almost obsolete) INT-X's is the day I will say "Mazsport is helping out the Rx8 community". No Redefine, you do not understand the word help out. Mazsport is a Business, and They have always been a business. Their profit margin is pretty good and you can tell my the prices on most of their items

you're right, it has been documented on the forums, and alot of the forum members have already bitched and moaned about this, but how many other rx8 owners that are not on the forum realize this? and I bet these people don't like to wait 3-4 weeks for a product after they bought it either.

and too bad for mazsport those people don't have RedefineRx8 to tell them what patience is:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i can't believe this thread is at 17 pages...

If you can't see that this company is helping the community you are completely helpless. Just stop posting, someone who didn't even pay for his own car has no business criticizing businesses or blatantly insulting a company that the owner and the few employees he has have poured their blood and sweat into. Seriously, just shut up you are walking on eggshells right now kid.

^I can't believe you actually came in here even though Taj posted in this thread!

Redefine, how old R you anyways............. it's not me who is helpless, it's you, what do you even do for a living, as for the Record, I payed for my car in cash and bought it myself. So what did you base that assumption off of? We clearly have pushed some buttons here. What are you Scott's lover or something? as I said, Scott is a good man, however, being a good man and a good business conductor are 2 different things, Scott should be more like a chief designer and technician, but his Marketing, and Planning is rediculous is all I'm saying. If Mazsport is truly Helping the RX8 community, then I need a new set of Coils, can you please send them to me ASAP? I'd be waiting for them in the mail.

Either you are actually working for mazsport (and basing on your posts, I'd say you are the retarded marketing manager). or you actually are the one that is helpless, because Mazsport IS A BUSINESS Scott can even attest to that, IT IS NOT A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION for RX-8 owners, if it did, it wouldn't have to pay sales tax!!! you clearly have gotten your mind set from some wierd falling on head hitting tree etc etc............I consider you hopeless

This thread is falling apart...
Its supposed to be about "Mazsport's beautiful two-resonator midpipe", not the pros/cons with Scott or MazSport (or anyone else from this forum).
If you guys want to continue this argument, then maybe someone should start a thread in the "Good Guy/Bad Guy" section!
Just a suggestion.....

There is already a thread about how good-bad mazsport shipping-handling is..So it would be better for this to stay clean so we can read only for the updates..

I had my turbo kit far far back and waited for it..I knew it but i still bought parts from mazsport cause these work but you have to damn wait...And i m with you that the marketing is very very bad..But they are new..Experience will help them through..

Lol 20 years old and paid for his car with cash.

This is going nowhere, I agree with everyone else on here. This has gone too far and too long. Taj, if you want to continue with your stuff pm me.

Closed.
