Getting parts for these cars is like X-Mas throughout the year

BTW - I had my S in for service yesterday and I had to drive around in a standard clubman............ughhh! I thought I was going to die on the expressway as I tried to pass people.

Hi Hector, is it possible my Down Pipe is on its way to get heat coated? Maybe? Fingers crossed

I am very patient in case you cant tell. Just kidding Diego, no rush. I will just be over here holding my breath.

Oh P.S. If my downpipe smells like pee I know who to blame (hector)

(the above comment is in reference to a different thread, I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea )
diego is the dog, and hector is the shop owner. LOL you've got it backwards.

Nice! I want to see how the new catback style looks since mine is slip-fit.

So Hector basically makes a sick a** down pipe with no CEL issues and then disappears? Where are you Hector? I was hoping on getting a DP too!

Any of you guys that put money down at least try calling him on the phone?

Ya I payed in full, I just tried calling him today. No answer so I left a message. Hes probably on Vaca or something. I have been watching him since he got on here, he seems stand up to me. But I did pay with credit card, so if in the end he never gets back I can always dispute it. But im sure he is around, I just hope his health is fine. Come back Hector, we miss you...

No one is implying that, Like I said he is either on vacation or sick, Im sure. The thing that sucks is Im waiting to get my tune untill I put on the DP. and I cant wait to see what kind of power I can get out of my settup.

I think he's just buried with work, no time to chat on the internet, I got my Fedex tracking information in a very brief email today.

FYI, I had an email from Hector yesterday. I have a R56 cat-back pending.

He has been swamped with family doing things around Orlando, so the vacation comment above is spot on.

I think his note said he only has to weld my exhaust up, so I hope to see a shipping number in the next week or so. Remember he is not a factory, he is a "two person shop", per his comments to me.

I'm looking forward to see what my unit looks like and the sound.

I wish I could get in touch with him, I've got a tuning date with Jan in 2 weeks. I'd be willing to drive the 7 hours to get one from him. I called his number but it's disconnected and I hadn't received a PM back from him.

I just talked to Hector, he is at work and answering the phone. He has had a ton of people visiting him in Orlando. But he is hard at work. My Down Pipe is at the ceramic coaters, Whew hew . Thanks Hector

He said he just hasnt had any time to update the forums. I told him, you just build your exhaust parts and I will let the people know whats going on

That's GREAT. I just called Hector. I'm driving to FL this weekend to have him install a downtube and entire exhaust system.

Does anyone have a sound clip of his full exhaust?

Thanks,

Mark
