Essential speed ?

no s***!.. well then I guess I stand corrected. like I said, I don't have it, just what I thought he had told me... I apologize if I've given bad info.
 
Its cool i just want to get something and be confident that itll work cuz im not gonna be installing it im gonna take it to a shop and i cant afford paying them and not getting installing and having to ship it back and s*** like that
 
i dont have pics of the bumper cutting, but it is also minimal and is completely invisible when finished and installed

if you order from ES, don't expect to get it this year. When i finailly did get my hard pipes (4 months). They sent the wrong kit. They are now giving me the run around about getting the correct pipes. BE FORWARNED at the shadyness of these guys. I would never trust them with my money.
I emailed Kevin to let him know that there is some bad feelings out there. He is not a member here and so asked me to post this response. Beyond posting this I will not be involved in this matter. Please email Kevin at Essential Speed directly to get this thing solved. This is a direct quote from him:

---------------
"I spoke to this guy,he purchased the hardpipe kit from a raffle winner...that took awhile to get in touch with me and sort of shipping costs.
The customer called me, and I was surprised to hear they didn't fit??
As explain,I must of made a mistake..the pipe must of shifted in the jig.
So explained to him the shipping costs would be brutal to send the pipe back and forth to me to get re welded.
So I suggested I would cut him an amazing deal for the front mount system, as there would be more leeway with the piping.
he agreed to except my "deal" to make things right.
emailed me for a shipping cost for the stage 2...now he bashing me after my best efforts???
send the pipe back I'll repair it,recoat it and send it back..choice is his."
---------------

Best of luck working this out guys.

When I read this thread it sounded like you were asking for opinions. It sounded like tbl is the one having problems, which is why I alerted Kevin. I know what a little bad press can do for someone and I firmly believe in him and his products.

Like I said, I'm not going to get involved and pass messages back and forth. Pick up the phone can call Kevin and work it out (both tbl and yourself, if you both are having problems). I know he wants to make this right. And, once it's worked out post up here so there is a conclusion to the thread...

cheers.
 
I have talked to him so many times I have lost count. Nothing is resolved, his solution was to sell me the upgrade to FMIC instead of sending me the proper pipe for the hardpipe kit. Real nice, bully your customers into buying more than they wanted too.

I am not griping here to try to get anything out of them, I have lost hope on that. I just don't want people throwing away their money when I feel I can do something to prevent it (post here).

So lets get back on track here.....any info on the release date of the t-back exhaust GB?
 
Hey on a side note I got my Essential Speed stage 2e gt28r Turbo kit in yesterday finally.

Looks sweet like most turbo kits do but there is just something about quality product that puts that twinkle in my eye.
 
(cool) aftershock that is a sweet upgrade, let us know how that goes for sure
 
Hello,

I'd like to know if there is any news update about the essentialspeed turbo back.

Thanks
