Exhaust purgatory

I cannot seem to get an exhaust. I tried to get a group buy going for fast intentions but could not get anyone to get that going.

I ordered a Supersprint more than 2 weeks ago and their is not telling when that will come in from Italy. I am close to cancelling that order b/c it seems my order has fallen into a european abyss.

decisions...

I have given the vendor the opportunity to do the right thing and cancel my order (which they have already charged me for weeks ago) and I still have no tracking number. I have elevated to the store owner and will get my credit card company involved if they don't get me a tracking number or cancel my order. The vendor was claiming they would have to charge me 500.00plus in restocking if I cancel my order and my reaction was - umm Bull$hit! If they handle this correctly I will let it go. If they continue to jerk me around I will be sure to share my experience with as many people as possible.

Okay- so the vendor gave an additional price break for my troubles (above and beyond my price match from the lowest price available) and gave concrete data so I have decided to keep my order in place.

1. The container is due into US this Friday
2. They said I should have 5-7 business days after that at the latest.

I am cautiously optimistic at this point. Wish me luck.

I appreciate the luck...at this point I will take what I can get. The guy I was working with is really good. He sent me a personal e-mail with his contact info and promised to keep me up to date with progress...I am content for now and appreciate thier effort to make it right.

I recieved my tracking number today! I am Paris this week and hope it does not arrive while I am abroad. Maybe I can get it in and installed next week! Finally, I get to leave purgatory!

UPDATE-

I am still out of the country and have been checking my tracking number at DHL for the past 2-3 days and it is not in the system. I decided the vendor may have used another carrier and sure as $hit, they used UPS. Apparently it was delivered on Friday and signed for. Problem is, I don't recognize the name that signed for it so I hope i acutally have it when I return?!?!?!?

Wish me luck.

UPDATE:
Exhaust arrived and was waiting for me when I go home. It really is a nice exhaust!
