I am beyond frustrated with them and they are only hurting themselves not me. Its their reputation on the line. They do not answer emails to anyone and keep giving the run around when they do. They are moving to Texas soon guess people will have to show up there for answers.

Yes thank you as a vendor you have gone above and beyond to help us as much as we needed. And continue to do so!

I doubt much will change between them moving being that the fact that they denied this issue exists but then obviously came up with the fix, refuse to work with the people having this issue. Most of the time they will provide the Prototype and allow others that have been having the issue to work with them and test it as well which is fine that they don't but they also don't mention why the continued delays. It sucks bc it is such a loud intake and has potential

I told them multiple times to send me one before they manufacture them and I can give it to people having issues to test. They refused to do so so I gave up on them tbh. It’s their reputation not mine I have my own brand to worry about quality. they keep testing stuff over there which allegedly have 0 issues in Malaysia and they think the US just doesn’t know how to install it. No way it takes 5 months to make a piece of plastic. They had the V2 done within a week or two I’m in your side guys Idgaf about kissing ass to companies to profit. I have a full time job outside this company. I just want the best parts and service platform to move forward.

I asked for clarification and after multiple attempts

"Sorry for the late reply!
The available time of V3 pipe will be from the end of September to early October."

Feel like I'm in a Ponzi scheme 😂.

They should just take it back at this point lol

The problem is there's a lot of people that claim they're perfectly fine with zero issues, but they aren't running any data logging to know if they have issues.

Equivalent of saying I'm skinny and I work out I don't have high cholesterol LOL.

Its super loud and if you get a custom tune, they can fix the lean issue.

Its just MST lies worse than my exGF and gaslight worse 😂

It seems to be the best sounding intake or at least what i can see via videos and im gonna tune the car eventually. The intake having lean issues is normal, anyone complaining about that must be modifying a car for the first time.

No its not normal. It causes random lean spikes at crusing speed. If it were normal, they wouldn't be making a V3.

It sounds amazing.

What is normal, is cars doing things differently when parts are installed that are not oem. Thats my basic statement.

To be fair I made them make a V3 haha....too many complaints from people that do not have a tune.....Most have 0 issue at all. Most issues are witht he DE5 and its like 1% of units sold
