I believe that it is still on for those who already signed up as of last saturday. Randy has the list.
If you were on his list then you can call him directly to arrange for payment and shipping. You can PM him but he is so busy and gets plenty of email that he may not get around to a reply for a day or two. Always best to call him-If he is not in leave a message and he will call you back.

Yes it went through - just call him. I have already arranged shipping on mine. Can't wait - first mod - other than some blue light bulbs (fog and running).

OK Guys, I was just waiting for a few straglers, but the buy is now closed.

Here are the folks on the final list:

Dave M.
Ralph D.
Ed M.
David R.
Wes L.
Antranik K.
Mike V.
Chris L.
John F.
Brad L.

Thanks for the help! I will be contacting those of you on the list today for payment and shipping info.

I wasn't able to find a way to get the unit to Australia without it costing more than the unit itself .

Give me a call if you would like to get me your info - there are several of you whom I only have e-mails from (no phone #).

Thanks again,
Randy

How is this coming along? Has anyone received their Exhaust system yet? I have not seen mine, nor have I heard from Randy since April. Not a big deal, but just curious!

You didn't hear about the substitution? For the same price everybody is getting the UUC. It will be delivered in 2 weeks.

What's up! I am on the list - have heard nothing yet. Maybe this is OK - I trust Randy, but don't know as much about the UUC.

NO...NO....NO!!!!!!

I am just kidding.

I too am waiting to hear about the UUC and the other couple of new exhaust systems coming out.

No grief to Randy either, not his fault.

This forum was getting so quiet that I wanted to see if anybody was out there.

oh well, i knew something like that might happen :???:
tahts why i am choosing the quick silver beucase it is lighter than most other exhaust.
now i think i better off stuck with local dealers then.
not much choice locally tho.
the hamann exhaust i asked cost so much (just the muffler) cost the same as they sell their Hamann SPORTKIT CS1 (ECU flash and pulley change and air filter) actually the sportkit cost 200 AUD less
so i guess i would probably get other mods first when i have the money.

Can we edit the subject line of the post to reflect the Buy's "closed" status? (1,045 views and counting... )

Hello Randy Mr. MINI SUPERMAN !


You rock!

I know you will be in Cincinnati this next month and am trying to figure out how much I can afford. If I have you do the pulley and I add the intake soon after what power should I gain?

Then, when I add the ECU when I get the cash at a later date what will she do then?

Thanks,
Tim

OK guys, it has been a long road with these group buys - but finally some good news. The QS arrived on Monday, but we had to get clamps from Accuseal. They arrive on Friday, then the systems will all go out - FINALLY!

I have contacted just about everyone on the list about the status.

Those I wasn't able to get a hold of -

Antranik K.
Brad L.

Those who never got with me to give purchase info - so you aren't on the shipping list 'cause I don't have your shipping addresses!

David R.
John F.

Thanks for your patience guys! I thas been a trying three weeks for product availability :evil: .

Give em a call if you have any questions.

Randy

So far I have not gotten anything. Takes forever to get things sent to Hawaii. I think I am on another planet from the rest of you.

OK, so it's been a trying 6 weeks for product availability :evil:

I had spoken with most of you last week about the clamps for the systems. We are still waiting for the clamps, though after checking, I have been told they are to arrive today. As soon as they are in, the units will FINALLY ship. Thanks for all of your patience (held hostage though it is).

I don't think I'm going to be doing any other group buys any time soon

Feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Randy

I spoke to Randy today and he gave me my tracking numbers and said that I should expect my BOX of QS to arrive shortly-like today. When I got home I found a 30" by 40" box sitting in my home- 26 pounds total.
Will have to check it out and install early next week.
I think most of the others should get their QS today as well. Long wait but I hope it is worth it. Nice looking exhaust.
Anybody know how we can get the dual tips???

Goody Goody. I will be looking for the UPS man today. I got my Alta rear sway bar 22mm from Randy yesterday. Now all I need is some better weather for instaling as I have no garage, and its raining. I could put up the pit canopy - but the neigbors frown.
