I am curious if anyone has heard from Odie? I sent him the money for a pipe and have been waiting a little over 2 months for it to come in.
The last email I received from him was 2 weeks ago. It stated he was shipping me a completed pipe, until he saw he needed to add chrome tips on it for me. He said he would get them put on and bump the shipping up to 3day.

I have sent him several emails since and haven't heard a word. I actually was one of the guys who answered a similar thread about 3-4 weeks ago from other Badweb'rs who had not heard anything from him and in that thread I stood up for Odie.

At this point, outside of wanting the pipe... I am more curious as to if he is ok and is still in the pipe business.

maybe this is something Blake needs to look in to. I mean he is right there when some one starts a thread about a product they'd like to sell, yet when one of his SPONSORS is unresponsive, nothing is done. Seems a little f'd up to me.

that being said, I too, hope nothing has happened and maybe he's just overwhelmed with work?

Check the sponser section, Odie is back and posted a new email addy. He said he will explain all soon.

that's all fine and dandy, but imo it was poor customer service to up and disappear. i understand things happen, but when you run a business, you gotta take care of business. i find it hard to believe that someone can be so busy with whatever that they cant take 2 minutes to post "will be down until further notice" or something. tho i have yet to order my exhaust, watching others go thru this has helped me decide who to buy from when i can.

Not all of us live on the web Bad. Give the guy a break, give him a chance to explain and catch up.

Yall cut the man a break, he is a one man shop overloaded with orders, works a day job and is running another biz as well.

One thing I know for sure is he is not trying to screw anyone or fall through, I know him personally and he would not do anything like this intentionally.

I don't believe I personally said he was screwing anyone. But when people send money to some one for services, and have to wait weeks or months for a reply, I don't think you can fault them for being a little suspicious. It is, after all, their money.
I sold him a muffler a while back and had no issues. That's why his not responding seems odd to me. I wouldn't write him off just yet if you're looking into an after market/modified muffler.

Just to clarify.....

Up till about 2 weeks ago, Odie and I did exchange emails and we did talk.

The point to the thread was more to use the Badweb as a resource to find out why he had gone silent over the last 2 weeks.

I have not and will never imply that Odie took my money. Matter of fact he offered a refund after a 2 month wait on a pipe. I told him to keep the money and just get me a pipe when he got his self settled.

Once again, my emails to him had gone cold. This was very unlike Odie and I was looking for information.

Looks like I found what I was looking for by the 3rd post. I think that was pretty dagone fantastic. In fact I sent Odie an email to his new addy asking for an update.

Honestly, I am a Project Manager and I can get down right troublesome at times keeping tabs on things.

I can't speak for anyone but myself here, but i wasn't implying that anyone was doing anything wrong like stealing. as i said in my first post, it's bad customer service and just bad business. i would certainly think that this board generates the bulk of his business, gotta take care of those who take care of you. i don't think you need to "live on a website" to post "company down until further notice, will explain when i can". the company we are talking about also has a website, nothing to my knowledge was posted there about any kind of shut down. to me, it doesn't matter if you're a guy in a garage or a corporation the size of Harley-Davidson-- being in business requires communication and accountability with your customers.

Ok, I hate to bring this thread up again... but I have yet to get any communication from Spec Ops on the new email or old.

Has anyone spoken to Odie or received a pipe from him in the last 2-3 weeks?

Granted I don't have a lot of money out to him for the pipe, but I am starting to wonder if I will see the pipe or the money.
