I know I have an STi but this applies to you guys too. (They sell Evo parts as well) Read on!

I know StaticX isn't a registered vendor but I am posting this of my own accord because I had very good dealings with them and want to share with everyone. I apologize in advance if I'm stepping over any lines and I assure you that nobody at StaticX had anything to do with me posting here (other than their A+ customer service).

Having said that ...

Most of the time I am very thorough and calculated when it comes to ordering new parts for my STi and rarely do I rush anything. Patience is a virtue. Along with that, one of my mottos is "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." Most people understand it.

I have known for a while that I would be purchasing the APS 3" TBE but due to other financial commitments I did not know when, or even from whom.

Things sort of fell into place yesterday financially and I was finally able to allocate enough to the budget (and yes, convince the wife to not complain too much) that I was able to afford them. Problem is that I will be going out of town in a few days which means I had to either find a supplier last night or do without for a couple weeks while I am away. Waiting I suppose wouldn't have been that big of a deal but of course being a little excited about it I figured I'd at least give it a shot.

I called quite a few suppliers of APS parts, some I got answers from and some I did not. I might point out that I contacted most of the ones on APS's site listed as authorized dealers, whether it was via phone or email. I got ahold of a few but the news was nothing good. If I got answers (most I did not hear from) they all informed me that I was either going to have to pay out the yang for expedited shipping or I wouldn't be able to get them in enough time to install and "experience" them before I leave for business.

I had about given up but my good friend nhluhr directed me StaticXMotorsports' way. I contacted him (late at night I might add) and whereas most others would call it quits around 5-ish, StaticX (Robert) was more than willing to help. I'm sure he has a life but he was more than happy to converse with me (without delay) to answer my questions and informed me that he would more than likely be able to get me my desired exhaust in 2 days with some effort. Because it was late, he was going to have to do it the next day (today). I went to place my order that evening but he found an issue that the dual tip muffler wasn't listed and he also fixed that on the spot (before I was even able to find the issue when placing my order). I continued my order and he personally confirmed that it was received and suggested I contact him the next day (today) to find out what he was able to work out.

I of course contacted him and he said he was working on getting APS on the phone to locate one so that I could receive it timely without any shipping charges either!! He later told me that he located one and went through all the required paperwork / steps to have it sent to me from a different location.

I received the tracking number and it is on its way to my house - shipped today. I can't express enough how happy I am with this entire transaction. If you are considering ordering from multiple suppliers and StaticX is on that list, they should be at the top and if they aren't on that list, they damn well should be.

Robert, thank you for making my failure to plan and lack of patience your emergency.

this is totally true, i dont think i've ever seen such a negative person in my life

 

Not only negative, but he LOVES to prove that HE is right.. everyone elses opinions, or decisions are NOTHING compared to his.

Good story tho. Glad to see everything went well!

 

It's good to hear stories like that, since it's very rare.

 

Wow! another Warrtalon bashing thread (second one today), I think that subject has been beaten into the ground. Much like all the BOV threads.

 

I bought a few things from StaticX when I had my STi. He was very quick to answer my emails and was very good to deal with.

 

I wonder why. He is a forum 'wannabe' mod, and is ALWAYS on the edge. Maybe if he'd settle down, and stop acting like a complete badass offering people the help they need, he wouldn't get bashed at all....

 

Cute.

Can we stay on topic here, or do the "real" mods have to remind you?

 

He's not a Mod .. lol I tought he was, tought he owned the site

 

Anyway...

 

I also bought some stuff from Robert @ staticx when i had my STi. very good service and a nice guy.

 

couldnt they have chosen a better name for a performance shop rather than rip off a band known as, Static X?

 

Let me guess, you posted a thread about the APS blow-off valve in your signature?
