Glad to see ZPI hard at work on the customer service end of the deal, thanks guys. I'm still soakin up the sun on my vacation but I miss my car so much! I cant wait to get back and mate up my ZPI pipe to the alphawerks header and CC catback.

 

Good luck with that, hopefully it won't be another horror story, there's plenty going around already

 

Dave,
You don't own a Scion and have no intentions of ever getting one. You have no interest in the cars. You have no interest in the people on this board. Fact is, you wouldn't even know, or care, that it exhisted unless we posted on here. You offer up no positive information to anyone on here and contribute nothing to this community but your negativity. Please do us all a favor and stop posting. Every post you have ever made on this board has been in a thread about us and every comment has been negative. Your point has been made. Don't leave mad, just leave.

Charles

 

charles said it.

all the haters on this thread... get the F&#K off

That's spectacular Charles, now back to work getting these kits out that a lot of people on this board have paid good money for. Where are the turbo kits? You're 5 weeks behind on your last "expected" release date.

 

dammm thats so cold but so right. sorry charles but he's got a point

bump for ZPI to contact me

 

did you notice he posted at 9pm? did you expect him to work from 7am to 9 or 10pm?

and i like how you completely ignore his points about you:
1) not owning a tC
2) contributing nothing
3) attempting to bring down zpi in every post

i guess if you can't hide the facts, dodge them.

 

1. You're right I don't own a Scion, but that does not mean I have not noticed them or looked into them, for the money I think it would be a nice daily.

2. I'm trying to contribute advice to a young impressionable Scion community but hey whatever, if you want to learn the hard way then go for it.

3. I'm negative towards ZPI because I have yet to see a car not owned by an employee come out of that shop and not have some sort of issues, that is if it's still running in the first place. Sure they can install Tein springs and their knock off exhaust system like some champs, but when it comes to big jobs, they fall short of the goal. And what happens when asked about what happened or confronted with the issue? They blame it on someone else.

As for when he goes in to work I have no clue, but regardless it appears they need to put in as many hours they can to catch up

 

1) That would matter if you were here investigating the pros and cons of the scion tC. but you're not so that's not a valid argument.

2)
a. They obviously don't want your advice.
b. get a life

3) that's along the same lines as number 2. there are a lot of ____ty businesses (not that i'mi saying ZPI is one of them). it's not your place to come on here and have unfounded facts thrown around like you do. let the kits ship, and the proof speak for itself. everyone is getting tired of you and your cohorts speaking the same old same old 24/7 and not contributing to anything on these forums.

 

I was one of the originial defenders of ZPI. I am not an employee (check my profile/license plate, it says VA), nor even a customer. I stuck up for them because
there was a lot of BS, and bandwagon bashing going on and people pointing fingers. Some of it came from the people that were from Kentucky, and some of it came from other vendors. None of it came from customers. My arguments were that ZPI deserved a fair shake, and not acucsations without proof or lack of accountability.
I beleive in fair play. It was no more fair what people were saying about ZPI, than if I were to start accusing Kenshin (not picking on you at all, just using your alias because it was handy) of being a kiddy **** dealer. If people are going to make accusations that someone is a crook, we need to see *proof*, not "well I knew a guy who had his engine blown up by ZPI".

I haven't posted anything about ZPI in a while. I stopped defending them when they missed their turbo shipping date. If you go back and reread my posts, I said that if it turns out that ZPI are not who they say they are, I will spend as much energy steering people away from them, as I did defending them. However, we aren't at that point yet.

I'm certainly less enthusiastic about them, and I don't see myself doing much business with them, at least not until they get their manufacturing issues resolved, as some of their products are suffering from delays. I have no interest in buying something that i have to wait months to get.

Try to keep everything in perspective. To some of you guys, ZPI can't win no matter what. But the fact is, they've been fairly upfront the turbo's shipping late, and have made some effort to correct the s-pipe mishaps. If the 4-5 guys that don't own scions weren't constantly bashing ZPI, most likely the moral towards them wouldn't be so bad. At the same time, had ZPI hit a home run with either the turbo kits, or the s-pipes, the 4-5 guys would be looking rather foolish.

You can choose to make up your own mind about ZPI. The jury is still out there as far as I'm concerned, but deliberations are underway, so to speak.

Just my $0.25 (adjusted for inflation)

 

all i know is that they were supposed to call me yesterday when they got my s-pipe back in the mail, and so far-no call. guess they were busy.


ps. 5 weeks behind on a turbo release date isn't that bad actually. trd is more than 5 months behind on their supercharger release-for whatever reason.

 

5 weeks behind which "expected release date?"

 

2nd bump for me?!

its been 3 months since i was told that i get my Spipe. hmmm i tried calling. they said they were busy. so call me? or PM me?

 

hahaitzskippy: why don't you call them. you know they're not trolling the boards searching for posts for people to call them back.

you'd probably have a lot better results contacting them directly

 

Just an FYI for those waiting on S-Pipes... ZPI filled 6 of my customer's orders last week.. so they DO have the product..

 

With all the hate from local Louisville kids, it looka like ZPI is backing up their claims with results. S-pipes are shipping as well as exhausts. Turbos are next and we have a proof that they dyno high (cincy-tc). No mater who says what, the results are speaking for themselves.

I also do not see how they should be responsible for S-pipe not fitting if your exhaust messes up the fitment. S-pipes work with stock piping and other exhausts right?

 

i'm not convinced that the s-pipe didn't fit for me because of a different exhaust. the bolts they sent were too short with the springs and too long without the springs. they told me that you were supposed to not use the springs from the stock s-pipe. my muffler guys said that the reason u need them is because it has to have some give? i mean, don't get me wrong-maybe he has no clue what he's talking about. ok, let's not even mention that part. what about the part where when u attach the s-pipe to the header, it doesn't clear the oil pan. nothing to do with what kind of exhaust u have-it never cleared the oil pan from the header. not only that, but i'm pretty sure that the zpi s-pipe has fit on a tc with the CC exhaust. i forgot who is was-maybe hilow? so if it fit on his, why wouldn't it fit on mine? was his the aberration-being the only one to fit, or is mine the one that's not right?

 

Mine fits just fine, I have the ZPI exhaust as well.

 

did you notice any diffrence in sound or performance?
