Default victim of the backorder!!!

so i ordered my apexi ws2 exhaust from suprastore finally and its on backorder for like 2 - 3 weeks . i paid 583 and change for it. I haven't found it anywhere else for that price. is it worth the wait or should i just get my money back and order it from somewhere else?

unless the part is being imported which right now a lot of the imported parts are on backorder.

don't be ignorant, things take time, especially things that are coming in from other countries. If you order work wheels, they can take up to 4 months to be finished and sent to the US.

OP, regarding the backorder, a lot of companies will say 2-3 weeks to cover their asses in case it really does take that long, but its very possible it will come sooner than that

I feel the same way, it's enough to wait for shipping, but on top of that have to wait 2 to 3 weeks However; there are some things worth waiting for

fonz (and OP), i realize my post may have seem misguided. It was not toward the OP, it was to the closed-minded nature of the member above me's post.

just my opinion, we obviously share 2 different points of view on the subject from one another
