Hmmm, Thinking....

I did the same thing once...

[kendog]

Can't have been any good if it was only once.. Or is it still going?

[kendog]

Any news from anyone else? I haven't heard anything since they told me '1 1/2 days till we ship it' a week and a half ago..

Must say.. I'm a bit disappointed, and getting a bit over it.. Over a month and it hasn't even been sent yet!!! Not happy Jan!!

Mine came yesterday morning which was a very nice surprise as i wasn't expecting it.
John said he would email me when it's ready to go but I haven't heard from him, not that I'm complaining.
Installing tomorrow hopefully.

I got an email saying mine was returned to them with issues with my address, then another one saying they'd sent it out again with the same address... Which was the same as the one they'd apparently just had issues with.. But looking at it, correct in my eyes.. WTF?

So I sent them an email, asking them what was actually happening, with an auto reply saying they were away till the new year..

If you saw my whole email train to them, you'd be amazed at how ridiculously confusing they'd made this simple transaction...

So grateful to Greg for the hook up and discount offer, but since then, I personally have had nothing but confusion with John for simple questions about their products, and what's happening with mine that the payment was cleared for on 23/11, a month ago...

Again, massive thanks to Greg, but the John end of things has been a massive run around. Very disappointing unfortunately.

seems you have had an unlucky run mate

Sorry I've been rarely checking back, Christmas time at work means tonnes of work (literally, we moved ~130 tonne the monday before xmas). Kendog sorry to hear your exhaust hasn't arrived yet, if you make you feel any better I'm still waiting for my silicone pipes which I purchased in early November :|

After all this I ended up ordering a Milltek system, 3" DP with high flow cat + 2.5" non-resonated R32 style cat back (I'm a sucker for dual exhaust, M135i, 335i, R32, MK6+ GTI etc). I'm still interested to hear the 42DD exhaust but I got the Milltek for a rather good price (with a Revo stage 1) and I was able to hear the resonated version in person so I just went for it. Now it's my turn to play the waiting game as mine should be here in mid Jan.

Also as for stage 2, my understanding was that if you wanted to go stage 2 with an AGU engine you needed to upgrade to a K03s. If that is the case it's going to be a long time before I consider that as I've got quite a bit planned already.

Hey mate how much did the exhaust setup cost you all up? Ive looked in the uk and have some quotes but if i can get local at a good price ill be happy with that!

The exhaust itself (DP+Cat) cost around $1600 incl. installation. The R32 style cat back is a bit more expensive than the single dual tipped version which bumped up the price a bit. I'm sorry but I can't remember the price for the standard exhaust.

[dubster99]

Where did you get it from? From the uk its like $1100 shipped.

Well ****, got it from a place in Parramatta, one of my friends got an exhaust & tune there and he recommended them. Is that $1100 for a full turbo back or just the cat back?

[kendog]

OK!!! Finally my full Turbo Back Exhaust arrived from 42DD!! Very, very, lucky my flatmate happened to be home to sign for it, as it arrived on New Years Eve, not the 3rd Jan like TNT tracking said!!

OK, now to install it!! How is everyone else getting it installed??

Does anyone have any good links to install guides or videos?!?!?!

[Swainey32]

I still haven't done mine no free time and now I'm off to Japan,
Did you ever find out how much roughly for it to be fitted?

Same, no time.

No, never got any info on fitting prices..

Also, Expression Of Interest for buying mine anyone that missed out on the discount group buy? I might have to sell up soon, car and all if I don't get any new work in the new year ASAP. No jokes, only genuine offers please.
