It was like this when I ordered mine. I waited for 3.5 mos. to tell me they were back in stock. Actually Kitw posted he got his and I ordered mine right then as I knew once they are out of stock, it will be awhile.

Seriously... it's frustrating.

Chris @ Turner told me there's an "issue with sourcing materials right now". I don't get it. Issue sourcing metal tubes? Challenge etc have no problems producing boat loads of their x-pipes/exhausts etc. And Turner is a bigger company.

I'm looking at alternatives but even the most affordable quality x-pipe is a grand more than the TTPs.

Maybe this is why Turner is out of stock and Challenge is flush with product....

I guess Turner does not notice they are losing sales, not saying this is one of their biggest sellers but I'm sure they make money on these test pipes, I mean come on how much could it possibly cost them to bend a pipe and do some minor welds? And then turn around and sell them for $400.00. Shit I should get a few sets made and sell them.

We know sourcing materials is not a problem. Maybe they are resourcing the fabrication to some place cheaper, like in another country. That would explain the delay.

I'm so down!!
