So about a week ago I received my SLP "cold air intake" in the mail *funny story I hunted the UPS guy down* :laughing: Anyway... I was pretty excited because an intake is an easy 5 min bolt on for a quick 5-10 HP! SOOOO with my expectations at that level... I proceeded to put the new intake on. During this process I did a once over of the product admiring its beauty. I was impressed with all the welds and the quality of the product and just as I was thinking that I look and inside of the AIR PUMP bung there are metal shavings EVERYWHERE! I was FUMING!!! If I had not looked over the product I could have destroyed my motor... There was a tee spoon worth of metal shavings on the inside of this bung. So I took the air hose and blew them out and ran a magnet over the area just to make sure. So now with that over with and satisfied that it was clean I proceed to put it on. As I tighten the nuts down I see that the bung on the side of the drivers side tube is not covered and has no cap on it... So I go to the directions and they start taking about an air pump connection and so on... I looked everywhere. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS CONNECTION! So I was freaking out because I wasnt going to drive around with this gaping hole in the side of my brand new intake. I then called SLP as a very disgruntled customer demanding some answers. All the rep said was that "we make these to fit all models and some yr vettes have these air pump connections. All you have to do is go out to the hardware store and buy a 3/4" plug." That pissed me off even MORE. They knew that this needs a plug on some models. As a reputable company like SLP dont you think you would include a plug WITH THE KIT!!?!?!?!?!?!
Heres how it ended up... Looks good and now works great! But I was PISSED OFF!!!
Lastly. I bought front and rear black outs for my lights from corvette central. I placed the order on sunday. Like MOST online stores the order is processed and shipped by the next day. I called CC today to see if my order had been shipped yet and THREE DAYS LATER!!! Its STILL not shipped... Im really quite agrivated about that cause I paid almost 20 bucks for shipping and handling and it still hasnt even left yet...
Anyway... Thanks for listening guys! I dont expect a lot of replies to this thread but I just wanted you all to know about my experiences!
Thanks again!
