Heads up guys:

DO NOT BUY FROM TURBO MAFIA!

They have been BANNED from 8thcivic.com as vendors leaving 12 members without exhaust. Spread the word. they have also screwed over the subaru and s2000 forums. call your banks, call your CC companies.

You can file a complaint with these people if you'd like, I'm not sure which ones will actually apply to the situation or will do anything, but it never hurts.

Better Business Bureau:

Hopefully this will help put the situation to rest.

 

whoa good find, this is something to think about.. now I havent heard of them screwing people here in SL, maybe they changed their ways.. this thread needs to be bumped though

 

Good, now they can stop raping people on the price of an exhaust.

 

thx for the heads up...
should be moved to buyer/seller experiences.

 

I Would have put it there, but the majority of tc owners look here, and it concernes them.

 

sorry.. people need to look in the right spots for the right info... it's not my fault that they can't do proper research.. and placing threads not in their proper spot makes it difficult for people that do research properly to find your thread.

 

Bump. Im staying on top of this thread. You guys need to be aware.

 

I didn't buy from turbomafia on 8thcivic because I already had a tanabe exhaust, but I've been following the turbomafia thread, and I have to say- don't buy from these guys. people ordered months ago and haven't recieved anything. has anyone here ordered anything from them, and if they have, have they recieved it and it has worked?

 

if this thread is a problem here, a new one can always be opened in the appropriate forum area. at least whocares is trying to help you guys out. I'm just here to chime in and add to it.

 

BUMP

 

GEEZ! I ALMOST ordered an exhaust from them. I ordered one from ZPI, never got it. Had to make a dispute. Almost happened to me again. Sheesh!

 

LOL!!!!!!!!

 

I ordered mine and got it in 2 days. gained 20 hp too. Sorry they had to start screwing everybody.

 

stay away!!! they are a scam.. many people on 8th civic didnt get their exhausts and the ones that did receive something got the wrong order.. they were sending exhausts out for completely different cars

 

you gained 20 horsepower?

 

Bull____......

Noway you gained 20HP, unless you also bolted up a turbo kit too.

.. and no way you got your exhaust in 2 days either. lets see, they would have had to recieve the order, recieve the money, make the exhaust, and then spend a crap load of $$ on overnight shipping. Get real...

 

Let me clarify, my turboed car gained 20 hp after the exhaust. and yes i did recieve it in 2 days. i am only like 30 min from them.

I'm not saying that people should keep ordering with whats going on now. I'm just saying that I and at least 1 or 2 other people did get a good product. I ordered mine over the phone though, not online.

 

Really?

Do you have there address?

 

dont have the exact address, they are in L.A. though which is 30-45 min away

 

looks like their website is pretty much non-existant now though.
