I ordered the 3" exhaust almost a month ago and I still haven't gotten any tracking numbers or whatever. And what ____es me off the most is that they charged me a day after I ordered it. I am so furious and ready to ask for a refund. :tap:

I heard they are out of business, is that true???

There's rumor/spectulation that they are, but here read up on this post. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187111&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0 All the juicy/sh!tty things they did to customers was posted in another thread but a Mod cleaned it out so its all gone now that I know of. However that thread I linked you has some good info possibly for you. I have contact numbers for the guy the is the supposed "owner" of ZPI right now if you need them.

Kenny left the company, and now the owners in charge, and its his responsibility to get you your exhaust. How is that scamming?

Yea, just give me the email of it. I am pretty upset, I will never deal with them again. I am not sure if I even want their exhaust now. If their communication and focus is out of proportion, then imagine the quality.

Anyway, I am glad I got the ITS if it's actually better than the T-Netics one. It's a .63 A/R it says on it. I hope it's a T04E-60. But, again, isn't that T-Netic's model?

I can second that with experiance.... Spec'd it for a future build so yes there is a little more lag then my friends turbonetics kit. Not enough to keep me from pulling away from him though......

Well he is like 6000 FT above sea level, so he will see about 2-2.5 PSI pressure loss off the wastegate according to some rough calcs. So he will need a 10 PSI spring in the WG to even run 7.5-8 PSI
