For those with Frankencar intake

How long did you guys wait for your order to show up?
It's been like 3 weeks since I orderd mine and nothing. I'm getting really ****ed, I've tried calling and e-mailing the for a few times each, no response. It's like they don't give a ***k about their customers.
Does anyone have any other way of contacting them?

Plenty of threads about this. It takes a LONG time.. 3 weeks is pretty good for those guys. Just keep calling the numbers and you will get through - forget about e-mailing. Call and call and call some more.. you'll be happy with the product though, and all will be forgiven.

Yo, I feel you, bro. It took about 2 to 3 weeks to get the intakes on the last group deal that we had. I suggest calling their cell phones after 5PM their time. They have day jobs and usually don't answer their phones till after work. I hope you get your intake. Peace.

Luckily for me I ran into them this summer @ a NJ meet- and purchased mine for an unheard price of$120- Their shipping/response is much third world-ish from all the complaints on the org
You could always purchase a midpipe elsewhere and put together w/filter of your choice-

Weapon-R makes a mid-pipe, but I don't know if you can buy it without the filter. According to .org members the Weapon-R foam filter sucks a$$.

Just got my WeaponR intake at autoworldfx.com for $140. The polished midpipe is nice and shinny! Been to a lot of sites that sell WeaponR. Didn't see any that sold only the midpipe. Autoworldfx was good because they could ship to my work address. Not gonna use the dragon filter. I'm waiting for the apexi filter w/adapter from Frankencar.

No foam and no oil! Shinny midpipe + low maintenance filter = Sweet intake setup!

Hopefully I can install everything before Thanksgiving!

come to think of it.. i never really had a problem with shipping with franken car.. i remember it being pretty quick.. i think it took like 1 week or so because i ordered it on a weekend so they couldn't get out on the weekend.. but getting hold them was a different story.. it took me quite some time to get a hold them to ask some questions.. but overall.. i like the fraken car intake.. its cool..
