Default Dealing with Sikpipes

Anybody deal with this dude lately?? I read reviews about the quality of his work and how long he takes to build exhausts before I placed my order back in June.

I was told it would take about 12 weeks for the pipes to be built. I'm having a hard time getting a hold of anyone over there. Starting to get nervous about being out the $250 deposit I gave them.

12 months??? Holy crap!! I think I could have gone to a class and learned how to weld in that time frame! I would be getting nervous as well.

Don't sweat it. Tyler is an upstanding individual. I went through the same thing when I ordered an exhaust for my 48. The 12 weeks turned into 16 and I almost canceled the order, but I was able to talk to Tyler and felt comfortable that he was going to get it done.

You must really like his exhaust if you're are willing to pay for something you wont see for 12 months

Sorry boys. That first post should have said 12 weeks not 12 months lolol.

I actually got a call from Tyler today and he was cool as hell on the phone. He's on it, he had all the details of my order correct (which was something i was concerned with).

He was apologetic for not staying in touch with me throughout the process. I should be getting them within 2 or three weeks.

If anyone here is considering dealing with him I would recommend that you do. Like goblue sayd, Tyler is a stand up dude. Although I haven't gotten my set of pipes yet I am yet to find someone who has his product and has something bad to say about it.

Thanks for chiming in fellers.

lol @ 12 months, I'm guilty of it too. Always having to come back and read what I posted the night before. My mind and fingers do not always work well together.

Psd, the set up I went with is a variation of his bastards exhaust.

I got him to face the tips out to the side and make them out of billet.


Tampa, I know what you mean. These days my mind is even more out of whack, I'm goi through a divorce right now and it's completely affecting every aspect of my life in a negative way.
