I ordered a Frankencar intake from frankencar.com about a month ago, and I haven't heard a word about it since. Its not here and they never sent me anything saying when it would show up. I've tried calling numerous times with no answer, and I can't get on the website. Is this normal for them, or did I just take it up the A$$?

I'm broke as a joke so I can't afford any new mods for a couple months, so I'm depending on this one to hold me over until I get a little more $$$.

 

Heh, good luck! It took 2-3 weeks for mine to show up. In the meantime I bought a used Injen. The guy buying my Frank outta be thankful he's not having to wait them! ROFL

 

i heard many complaints before on the org about people waiting forever to recieve their products.

 

if you paid by credit card, just cancel the charge...*** them!

 

This is exactly why I haven't ordered from them. I want to, but I just can't bring myself to pay $150 and then cross my fingers and hope. I should have bought t56gen3's when I had the chance!

 

 

I had my friend do it through paypal, I'm not sure if it can be cancelled. I heard all good things about the frankencar thats why I ordered it. I don't mind the wait as much as I mind wondering if its actually EVER going to be sent (although 1-2 week delivery would have been nice)

 

Just wondering...did you get the Apexi dry filter?

 

**** I orderd the midpipe today, I have been trying to contact these guys as well with no luck, if it will take longer then a week or so I will cancel the charge...if they ready this --fix your customer service

 

Yes, I did order the Apexi filter...bad idea?

And btw thanks to everybody for all the replies, I didnt expect to get as many responses as quickly as I did!

 

No, actually from what I've read the Apexi is better than the K&N. But it does say on frankencar.com that ordering it with the Apexi will take longer than just getting the K&N.

 

What happens if I paid through paypal and then I don't pay??? They billed me already but I thought they don't bill you unless the seller (frankencar) ships it out...Im ****ed...I want my friggin intake NOW...Im about to go buy everything stillen from now on because at least i know a big company like that wont *** me over like frankencar is right now...why is no one from that company giving anyone feedback about the apexi ordeal????

 

It's a "mom & pop" operation. I'm sure they all have full time jobs elsewhere. You can't be in a hurry with them, just be patient.

 

Call him and leave him a message. He will hopefully get back to you in 3-4 days. Intakes a probably on back order. The same thing happened when I ordered one for myself and then later for my friend. Apparently they don't like to notify customers when things are back ordered.

 

The Apexi filter seems to be on constant backorder. I was reading the group deal thread and the last I saw, Apexi supposedly messed up on shipping the intakes so there is another delay. IMO, ask for the K&N and a refund of the extra. I have the Apexi now, but I think the K&N might be a better buy. Just don't over oil.

 

APEXI hasn't shipped the filters to them. Look in the Group Deals section. I posted everything that Steve has been telling me.

 

I only ordered the MAF adapter, on 5/12...
It's only $29 but damn reply to my emails, give me some info as to whats going on.

When I ordered just the mid pipe last year Steve had great service, ordered on Mon. got it on Wed. Had a problem with the weld got a new one at no charge on Fri.
Now I'm like WTF. I understand if it's out of stock just tell me so.

 

Could I have the link? I guess I shouldn't expect it to come in anytime soon...maybe another 3-4 weeks hopefully? Thanks for the info!

 

Go to the group deals forum and it is right there at the top.

 

Well it seems that all the issues are associated with APEXI filters, I just got the midpipe I hope it comes soon, but still no response from Steve or anybody listed on their site, makes me concerned.

 

Yea, it seems like leaving a message is the best thing. Steve called me back about 2 days after I left a message. Again, leave a message and ask him to call you back. Steve's a great guy and hes not trying to rip anyone off.

 

well I spoke with Steve today and he said he was on his way to the shop to pickup some of the orders and ship them out, so I am expecting mine sometime next week, I will post how long it took, but yeah just call the guy

 

I ordered mine on 4/28 and it was shipped the next day. It was a red midpipe w/ K&N so it may just be that they had them in stock.

 

I have an apexi on order as well. It was ordered 4/29 and still nothing. I have been in conversation with steve and he reasures me that they are on the way. As of our conversation yesterday it looks like another 2 weeks. These things better worth the wait.
Any info anyone can provide will be helpful.
Thanks
