Question Questions about Slowboy Racing

Has anyone recently delt with SBR? I found a lot of reviews from years ago. Needless to say they were bad but was wondering if they have gotten there act together?

LoL -- the company went belly up. I dont think the one that bought them or that they "turned in to" was any better.. just ran away from debt.

Then you have your answer. I dealt with them a few times years ago and it turned into a nightmare. There is so many better shops you could deal with so why risk it.

Built Industries is the new cover. Don't risk it. Mike Huml is the problem. They did have good salesman who were powerless to fix any issues. Mike is an idiot.

Many years ago I ordered a simple manifold to hotside gasket. What they sent me wasn't even for and EVO, then charged me a restocking fee to return it.

So over ~10 dollars they lost business from me or anyone I know. They screwed people over time and time again and have since moved far away from this community


If they are still in business I'd steer far clear from those clowns

F*** SBR
