From personal experience, the sooner you stop doing business with Riss, the better off you'll be. Already once before did Riss drop off the face off the Earth to let their customers out high and dry.

Do not trust them. I have a 600 dollar exhaust sitting in a box that isnt worth more the than the metal used to make it. Don't count on the O2 sim being resolved. But hey, i could be surprised. I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

Mike,

You don't need a group buy, go to see Way at Waymotorsports

You won't find it any cheaper. I bought mine from them.

true true...i thought i saw one a few months ago though..seemed pretty successful... i just dropped a grip on my taxes this year and been spending frivolously on my mini cash cow and need to withhold on that unless its a deal i cant pass up...thank you though....and my dp is taking forever!

 

but i thought u mentioned in another thread that you enjoyed your riss racing catless dp very much and that it sounded very nice?

 

I do like the downpipe. i stand by that product and would recommend it to anyone. Even though there has been figment issues recently with others' pipes.

As a company, Riss has been very shady when it comes to business. Myself and numerous others waited months and months on the first batch of exhausts and down pipes after being led to believe that they were done at various times.

As for the exhaust, it drones bad REALLY bad. I admit getting a catless exhaust without a resonator is asking for loud. But for anyone to believe that that thing is a production ready and pushes it, makes me think they just rushed it out the door. It obnoxious. But i should have known better given that its basically a straight pipe. So i don't really hold the exhaust against them.


Long story short, there have been lots of displeased customers with most of their products. The bov looks identical to the HKS one. the O2 sim has been a massive headache. Look at Riss' itrader rep and read people's testimonials. I really hate to put them on blast, but you asked for it. I hope they can turn the business around. But that's yet to be seen.

 

fair enough answer. i was just stoked on getting the RR catless downpipe because of the comments i heard on this forum of how excellent sounding it is. i guess im gonna have to try to look for a new downpipe

 

FYI, there isn't a company out there that is capable of fixing the o2 sensor...YET. Your best bet is to get the ED Catted or the ceramic coated cat-less one if you don't mind the CEL.

 

still waiting on my ED pipe... going on 3weeks plus! not sure whats taking so long...

 

Like i said, i ordered my RR down pipe last July and got in November i believe. Something like 5 or 6 months

Good luck guys. Its a tough market out there.

 

Why doesn't anyone mention the offerings from Way motorworks? They too have catless downpipes as well as exhausts that DO NOT drone.

 

Got mine on yesterday....it's sweet. I think this shop move is taking Hector longer than he hoped. Keep trying him.

 

Unknown, the site claims "contact/call for details" so I dropped Way an email for details on it; price, CELs?, availablity, etc...two weeks ago before I took on installing the ED yesterday, and still haven't heard back.....so the ED is on and I am moving on to the next upgrade.....

 

so are there any normal "working" sites/companies that i can buy a decent downpipe from? seems like we're running out of options here...

 

+1 feel like this is taking forever... and i wish i had positive feedback....

 

Just threw a P0420 code with my ED pipe......grrrrrrrrr..........

 

other then the code where you happy with the ED pipe? how long have you had it installed before you threw codes?

 

Love the sound and the butt dyno feeling I'm getting from it. Like Mark stated before, It really needs a engine brace so everything isn't supported by the turbo and exhaust connections, so I'm doing my own. Got it on Friday and I had done some small (3 miles or less) runs initially and nothing. Did a longer run (about 10 to 15 miles) yesterday and it threw the code. No limp mode or performance issues that I could tell, just the CEL. I cleared it last night, double checked that the sensors and the all the connections were tight, and with 30 miles in to work this am (knocking on wood), no CEL.......fingers crossed.....rubbing my rabbits foot, and holding my four leaf clover.......

 

how long did the turn time take to recieve yours? i'm going on a month now...

 

From what I read here, about a month is Hectors turn around....and that's when his shop is in place. Hell, then it sat another month or two before I got the chance to get it on. Do you have his cell phone number? If not I'll see if I can dig it up for you......I assume you have already sent him the $'s? For what it's worth, it is a really well built pipe. The welds are fantastic and the ceramic coating is real nicely done.................

Something else to try.....if you can get the $'s back.....even though he never got back with me on it (which is rare for him), generally Way keeps parts in stock. You may want to give him a call about this and see what the story is on it...

Too bad we can't have a GOOD pipe dealer that is as on the ball as is Clint or Jan.........God knows the opportunity has been there........

ya i shot him a text message @ the 2 week mark since he said his turn time was 2 weeks and i heard nothing... his response was less then what i was expecting...kinda like you'll get it when i'm done type of thing. never worked with Clint but if JAN made a DP i would def buy one from him... his communication is superb and i'm sure he'd take the pending CEL Obstacle into consideration in his design..does anyone have any feedback/price on WAY's catted DP? i'm in CA and dont want to go through the hassle of taking it off, putting it on a cattless DP... i read its the diameter that throws the CEL's... the bigger ones like 2.75 and up are setting them off... whats the diameter of WAY's? its not mentioned and the ever pending topic of the CEL's is not mentioned in the description either...
