So, I went ahead and bidded on that midpipe on ebay, sold by dohcnacivic. I won the bid on Tuesday or Wednesday, and received the UPS notice for missed delivery yesterday (Friday).

So as far as how shady the seller is, I have no complaints (unless I get the package and he sent me the wrong item...then I will be ). However he did not reply to any of my emails, which is odd.

However, Frankencar rarely if ever replies my either. And as far as receiving what I've paid for, I can't say much more for Frankencar either. Don't take this personally Frankencar reps, but I feel that you guys should at least tell those who have paid (good money) for your product:

1. How long the backorder list is...
2. Where they stand on the list...

Sorry to vent...just think of it as quality control.
