Just an FYI.

An item was missing from my first order. 1st install appointment canceled.

I reordered the missing parts, called 4 days later, and was notified it hasnt been shipped. No notification call. 2nd install appointment cancelled.

Not sure if any of you guys had a problem with them...

Communication takes the sting out of any problem.

 

The only problem I have with them is that they are not making any B pipes or any cat backs. I called them today and they said they are only concetrating on the SFC.

 

Warpspeed is still selling stuff?

 

yeah, i thought they were toast

 

wait, that's frankencar, my mistake

 

Their craftsmanship is great, but their service sucks!

 

If you remove the small tapered part near the resonator with larger tubing, you wont get much more power with an aftermarket b pipe, from what I hear.

 

EDIT: nm, i don't feel like typing this anymore

 

So are you saying with stock exhaust (end to end) and a aftermarket piping which removes the tapered part you get no gains? noise? I was looking to replace that piece so would like to know

 

Just to clarify my statement. There is a small spot near the resonator on the b-pipe that tapers to a small diameter pipe. I was told that if you cut it out and replace that small area with a larger diameter pipe, you will get just about the same gains as upgrading to an after market b-pipe.

 

yea i just bought one of their ss y-pipes...thing was polished w/ smooth bends, perfect fitment and no "bees-in-can"....but no communication...

 

Ordered a b-pipe from them and it came late, didn't include the hardware to mount the magnaflow muffler and I ended up having to bring it to a shop to have them weld it on. The owner remarked that it was one of the worse looking systems he had seen and looked like a hack. This shop does custom exhaust jobs for show cars and race boats and has been around for a long time in chicago (Iggys muffler). Their y-pipes are alright but I would never order a b-pipe from them for the rest of my life after wasting all of that time and money when I could have just gotten and greddy or cattman and bolted it on for the same overall price and much less frustration.

 

Communication is lagging there, but their craftmanship is top notch stuff.

I got my catback from the back in March and the only problem I had with it was that the top of the big Q'clone muffler hit the bottom of my trunk on a raised lip that was useless. I just cut that off from my car and problem gone.

After over a year of calling and calling about SFCs, he's been working on a jig for them for the alst few months and as of friday he shipped out my stage 1 SFCs. So far my experience with them has been a haggle to get the right info about expected dates, but pays off when I get the products.

I have their Ypipe, test pipe, catback, and now SFCs are on their way. I give them one thumb up for quality and craftmanship, but I'll have to givem them one thumb down for organization of the work effort.

As far as customer service, its been great with me so far. Always respectful and helpful, both Gwen and Dallas. But its clear they need a hand in organizing that shop with deadlines and keeping a steady pace. Perhaps they are short handed and need to hire more people, w/e it may be, something needs to be done about it because many people have had this complain for years now.

 

I have never had a problem with communication, or shipment problems with them, even when they did the big group deal on ypipes. I just got some flanges from them recently, and they had arrived in 3 days. They get two thumbs up from me.

 

Warpspeed drove me to create my own custom SFCs

 

Like 95 blkmax said for deals like the y-pipe deal where they know they are getting a ton of orders and make enough etc you are fine. But if they are out of stock etc welcome to a long wait and missed shipping deadlines. I think I was told 3 different times etc. I would definately recomend them for their y-pipe but I just can't recomend them for their b-pipe after my ordeal and all the extra stuff I had to do due to missing/bad hardware for mounting it. I wish I had gotten a b-pipe from budget/lssexhaust looking back but I was in high school then and rather naive after getting a y-pipe from waprspeed for each of my maximas with only shipping delays being my problem up to then. I will say again though that their y-pipes are quality.

Their phone service was always one of the better ones though for most of the manufacturers we deal with I will say that.

 

Ohh yeah and their quality of work is shabby too. They dont cap the ends of their SFCs so water and dirt can get in the open tube and rust it from the inside out. They use thin wall tubing, low quality tubing (not DOM) , and small diameter tubing.

make your own based on the materials I used and you'll have a very strong setup.
