if you guys east coast want a really good place with very fast shipping, try this
http://stores.ebay.com/Verocious-Motorspor...Q3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm

they are a big company located in deleware. anything i order before 3pm, gets to my door the next moring. its great if you really need some parts in a hurry. i normally call them up and deal with them over the phone instead of ebay for the fastest processing.


Good link!!!! Thanks man!

I highly recommend against buying from this place, i ordered a set of 8 t-bolts 2.5" and they send me 4.5" and after quite an argument with them they decided that they will replace them but i have to cover the shipping ($11 one way so i have to pay $33 just for their stupid mistake) that place is horrible do not buy from them. mad.gif



same thing happened to me ....... i think its a bunch of kids running the place.

so to recap atpturbo sells crap and thier customer support.........ummm i dont think they have support?

haha my conversation on the phone with french accent lady

(...)
Lady: we need to verify your card# to cover shipping fees

ME: why do i have to pay for your mistakes? i did not order 4.5" claps why the hell are you charging me for shipping?

lady: The invoice says that you ordered 4.5

ME: the invoice is wrong i am positive i did not order 4.5, how much is the shipping anyways?

Lady: $12

ME: whaaaaat? first invoice says $10 i paid $8 to send it back to you, 2.5 will weight less so should cost be smaller ?!?

Lady: ok i will give it to you for $10

ME: "You will give it to me for $10" ?!? are you even in position to make these decisions? or are you just sales representative ? nevermind I will contact your manager shortly...

Lady: But sir we.. I...

ME: phew... customer service my ass [CLICK!]

not really. you get what you pay for.
all the silicone hose that guy has listed is made by hightemp silicone, VERY high quality stuff.
Jim, the owner of the company, is a very good guy to deal with. i would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality silicone hose.

Honestly man, you should have known that. I wouldn't fault ATP at all for this. A Silicone coupler is what, 1/8" thickor so, which means that you're essentially adding 1/4" to the outer diameter of the pipe.

Yea right.... i bought t-bolts from 3 other places in 2.5 and they opened to fit 2.75 if not 3"... these guys, on the other hand, have really short thread and almost no bend at the bolt which is sh!tty, not only that but their customer service sucks and makes you feel like you being scammed (look at the phone conversation above), not only that they also send me 4.5" the first time ??? mad.gif and charged me for shipping each time ?!?

Worst company i have done bussines with mad.gif

yup dumb me, should have noticed that, but guess what THE 4.5" did not compensate for a a coupler on 2.5" pipe [/sarcasm] i still hate those mofos and ill give them bad name on forums just because they i had to pay for their first mistake

why would you expect a clamp over an Inch to big to fit anyways?
