I got my Injen from them and just like the other guys, nothing but good things. I got it fast and they were the cheapest place to get it and the only place that had powdercoat red. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

How can adventon sell things so cheap? Are their items brand new? Or, are they refurbished items?

Holy cow!! I feel ripped off now!
I tried to order from them today. Called from work and ordered the Greddy EVO Catback. Awesome price , like $100 cheaper than anywhere else. Place the order with my credit card, tells me he sent a email for order confirmation. Hung up the phone. got home, checked E-mail, no confirmation from them, and this is 5 hours after I ordered. so I call them, I get the"let me find out what happen". Calls me back, and heres the story I get... Yeah, Greddy called me and said that they didnt have the exhaust that I tried to hold for you earlier today, I was really pissed at the(greddy), and cussed them out..yadda yadda yadda. i can get you one in mid August. UHH, ok stop there, if you knew earlier that you couldnt get the exhuast, why didnt you call me. Why is it when I just called you, you didnt have a story and had to call me back, to then tell me you got into an aurgument with Greddy. So anyway, I cancel the order and he says, ok, we didnt charge your card anyway. OK cool. So later I am thinking, hmmm, let me call the bank, yep, they charged the card. **** it, I ordered the exhuats from NipponMotorsports for $200 more and it will be here Thursday. Thats what I get for trying to save money. I'sd rather spend $200 more and get better service.

Dude your story is too flawed to believe. Adventon is a great company to do business with from what I've heard. Every feedback I've read on them has nothing but praise for their service and prices.You say that adventon's price was $100 cheaper than anywhere else but you went ahead and paid $200 more for better service? Give me a break. Sounds like a bash & plug post to me. If you would've done your homework, you would've known that there are some fitment issues with the greddy evo and it's still in the works. I doubt nipponmotorsports has one in stock and if they do it's probably the first version.
Man, who the **** are you to talk to me that way. **** you! Nobody else that was $100 cheaper had it stock you ******* moron. I know that there was a fitment issue. I'll flaw your ******* face b****. What the **** do you have against me. I was just letting the forum know of my situation with them today. Why would I waste my time lying about that. You are a ******* moron!
I got my Injen intake from them for just under $200 + $15 shipping. I had quite a bit of run-around with them when I was ordering. The problem was that I was temporarily in Arizona (as opposed to San Diego, where I live) and wanted the intake shipped there. It took me three or four days of haggling with Adventon, calling my bank, and more haggling before they finally shipped. It was quite a pain to deal with them. It took a long time to do anything with them - each iteration of running around the bush took a long time. I called them, did what they said I needed to do to fix the problem, called back and it wasn't good enough. Waited until they felt like running my credit card again (probably the next day), and called back to find out they're still giving me s***.
They have a specific procedure written out on their website that you should follow if you're shipping to a different address than your billing address (call your bank and have them list your 2nd address, etc.). I followed it to a T, but it made no difference - it was as if they didn't even know that they had this policy. I went through the extra hassle all for nothing.
I'll also second the earlier story about how they didn't call. It was only after I called them to check on the status of my order that they said there was going to be a problem. They knew there was a "problem" with having different shipping and billing addresses, but rather than call me upon receipt of my order and/or notice of the problem, they just let it sit there instead and did nothing until I called to ask about it.
That being said, once everything was straightened out, the item was shipped and got there quickly, which is actually more a testament to UPS quality service than to Adventon. I give credit to them giving the best price around, and I'd say they're great if you happen to not have any sort of a hitch in the process. If you have to deal with a person, though, look out.
