02-03 obx header Hell Sparktec Motorsports

Ordered the headers on this Past sunday, 1/10/10 from Sparktec Motorsports, and basically I have not received any confirmation number, No response to emails, and there is no working phone number.

I emailed today, with

Hey guys,

Just wondering If you have sent out my Obx 02 03 maxima headers.

Order number- xxxxxxxxxxxx

Im just wondering what is going on? I emailed the contact Address on your site, and still no response.

All I want is a Tracking number.

If I do not get a response back in 24 hours, I will have to contact Paypal and Take my payment back.


Thank you,

Jonathan Perque.


Basically Im stuck in a tough situation I opted for quick shipping, and they tech should be here today, but If they were I would have a tracking number!!


The more research I do, the worse it gets with negative Info.

Im Pisssssssed.

Yup, I emailed the Stated email on the Site, found his Direct email via another buyer that had a problem, and also just sent a dispute over paypal.

That should get this guy or scammer going.

I just want the Powwah

Update


Just Facebooked the Owner. Sent him a nice message

Also

I also called one of the numbers, Called paypal and they gave me it. The number went to some asian guy right when I said I was calling about Sparktec Motorsports, He immediately states, He does not live here and hangs up.

Geeezzzz

or Phone Number.......

Errrr I just saw that they had the header in stock, and i figured it was legit b/c of Paypal.

But as I searched today, I realized I made a mistake!

I dont understand some people, the site is very nice and they specialized in Obx....

I know EPIC FAIL

Sorry to hear you're having problems with yet another shady internet reshipper, but it serves you right for buying OBX in the first place.......

lol yea yea, I did it just because with the extra money I was supposed to save I was going to tune it with a Safc I picked up(with the spare money).

There is a dyno shop called torq in my area they specialize in Stangs, but the guy is super cool, he wants we to do a pull before and after header install.

125 tuned.

but it seems like I will have to wait till this clears an expected 9 days, then i can go on the hunt for headers again........ Its all i wanted for my birthday :-(

who knows perhaps someone will have them on the org by then, until then I will just keep searching.

I hate internet Scammers with a passion!

Dropshippers.
They don't actually touch the product. He's probably running it from his dorm room, or his parents basement.

Sorry to hear that john. I hope you get that money back.

I dont think theres anything wrong with trying to save some cash and buying the obx headers. They still make power and sound nice because of the equal length design and smooth collectors in the piping. They've been holding up pretty well so far in a buddy of mines car so far.

I just picked up a set of hot shots myself, hoping to install them on the dek this weekend.

Yea I tried that number a week ago, It just rings and rings no pickup ever.

I Should have done more research!

Paypal said they would refund me the money, I just hate that this apparently has happened before and paypal still allows transactions to go to the seller!!!!

I have to wait for 8 more days untill I get a refund (I believe)
