Default zpi exhaust = buchur racing exhaust

haha i never even knew that... i don't know if people knew that here but just wanted to inform them. Bucher is a well known company that works on evos and has one of the fastest evos out there. Parts are amazing and they have respect from a lot of evo owners (including my friend)
My friends' exhaust (on his evo) is a bucher racing exhaust also... and funnyting thing wass i said "it looks exactly the the zpi exhaust we have!" .... well what do you know ... the zpi exhaust was most likely bucher's exhaust all along (and their s pipe)
if anyone likes the exhaust buy it from them.... its marked at 419... as opposed to zpi who marked it up to 499.

You mean they had all the exhaust left after Kenny didn't pay him.

They sold these on ebay after Kenny took off for a really good price. I hear there is bad blood between them. Not surprising, Kenny seems to have bad blood between him and everyone he knows or knew.

It is not that they dont care to make them.. they actually started posting on ystc and are selling the parts on thier own now, and may make more parts for the tC. ZPI didnt pay them for the parts they made, so they never made it to the customer.

Kenny never kept any in stock. When a customer ordered a ZPI exhaust, it was drop shipped from bushcer.

^ Will you ever stop defending this loser?

The exhaust were probably left over from the ones that orders were put in for but Kenny probably pocketed the money and never sent the people their exhaust or paid Bushcer.

Don't you realize that he was taken money from the company? How do you think he was able to fly to Florida and pay for dyno time and not charge anyone? He wasn't being nice, it wasn't his money being spent. I know you're a smart guy but for some reason you are still a little blind to what this guy is.

This was covered from Buschur themselves over on ystc when they announced they would be resuming sales of tC parts. Yes, they were either drop shipped, or sent to zpi first only when an order was placed. They were late because ZPI never paid buschur for the parts, and they stopped shipping them until ZPI paid up. So in the end they were left with parts sitting around, and still plan on making them and selling them on thier own.

I have mentioned this before, I was the one doing the led mods for ZPI, and had trouble EVER getting paid on time from them, even for $100 mods, which they charged double for. It was always "paypal issues". Luckilly I was usually able to get my money, although sometimes a week or two after I did the work. They also shipped me parts to mod without even telling me before hand, so I would get them without the parts on hand, or when I was out of town, making the customer on thier end wait forever. It was obvious they had issues paying for thier parts and working with thier vendors. I tried giving them chances because they seemed like nice people, but I am glad I stopped getting work from them.

So I dont doubt Jareds (from Buscher) story at all.
