    WOW. $250 increase? For someone who imports and exports constantly, that kind of increase is unacceptable. Why such an increase?

      Unfurtuanetly that's what it worked out to.

      Being that I bought them while in CA I made the simple mistake of assuming import freight was included on quote, unfurtuantly it was not., add manufactures increase and that's where it ended up at.

      It was my mistake to expect freight to be included and not anticipate manufacturing cost increase., I'll eat headers for breakfast for the next few months. C'est la vie.

      I sure dont want RD taking a loss., it's all good.

        A 42% increase is pretty massive, were they shipped over on Air Force One?

          You can look at it that way or the way I explained.

          I simple miss quoted product as I erred adding up expenses. It happens, my mistake. Therefore I'll carry the penalty. what else you want me to say.

          I don't owe anyone any moneis nor created losses for anyone.

            You know you won't "eat headers for breakfast". It upsets me that the initial price was so good and it's gone up by almost 50%. That's one hell of a mis-quote. Companies go out of business mis-quoting things like that. You're right when you say you don't owe anyone anything. I just stinks. My budget increases, that is the reality.

              fporro, I don't see why you personally should have to pick up the slack for RD's poor communication and huge price increase.

                Yeap, that's why I decided to refund everyone's deposits, self financing was key to not go belly up. It seemed futile to do anything else at that moment.

                If anyone does develope interest please pm, at this moment I don't see the need to make a list again. Already trew them on the chopping block at auctions.

                Sorry for the great disappoinment.

                  Is not all RD's fault, I screwed up to by assumming cost of freight was included, etc.. it's done, they'll sell eventually.

                  Also due to all of the delays I went ahead and moved items from RD warehouse, therefore voiding free handling and storage.

                  I might be able to remedy that by moving them all to my private storage in Los Angeles and stop the bleeding already.
                  My better half will ship them instead on her spare time from zip code 90012

                  sorry if my replies seem snappy., I'll see what I can do to remedy this ...

                    Hey man, it happens. I'm still in, I just hate that it turned out to be more pricey. Let's be honest, they are still a good buy at that price!

                        Actually, I would like a closer look at those welds. They don't look anywhere near as nice as Nando's. Can we get some better pics?

                          Sorry this came out this way Frank. I hope you don't get too screwed on this.

                          Speaking of the welds, did they weld in the little pyramid things inside the collectors?

                              yes, and the tubes are tighter together too.
                              but in all realism, i am in it for functionality. (and cc)

                                you can't really compare the tubes directly because the E34 headers are shaped completely differently since there's more room for the firewall. they are just similar designs not identical, they were always going to be different from my pictures.
