Beware: Fuel1racing/Kingpin Cycles/Bootleg exhaust
I heard good things on this forum about the Bootleg exhaust from fuel1racing.com and decided to order one for my '06 F4i. I placed the order on June 3, but didn't hear anything from them regarding my order. On the 16th, I emailed them using the email address on the paypal receipt and still no response. This morning I went ahead and disputed the charge with paypal and fortunately was refunded the entire charge. The response from fuel1racing was
"Message from merchant: We no longer Make pipes. Sorry."
Thanks for keeping my money for nearly a month! If you have an order placed with them, you may want to get with paypal to have your money refunded.

I am not saying i don't trust what you are saying....BUT... i know Tom, and although he's sort of shotty on communication sometimes, that does not seem typical of him
i have one of his pipes and they're great....dunno....sorry to hear either way....

hey whtan...i don't think you should be telling anyone anything as you have never dealt with them...as for gixsix that's his perrogative as he had a bad experience...i hate it when people jump in and comment on something they have never dealt with...
i can tell you when i dealt with Tom i got my pipe, custom ordered and got a lot of follow up on some specialty things needed....now that was MY experience as gixsix has HIS...you have NO experience so i would just move along....you know nothing about Tom and/or his business so please don't comment on how he runs his business when you have NEVER dealt with him...
geez....

im with ffingers here. Tom is a great guy and meant to do good by making pipes for the members on this forum, but when people complained about how long it took for him to make them (keep in mind, it was a side business, he has another job as well), it give him a lot of negative rep and unnecessary criticism. i can see why he stopped making them with some of the people around here.
me and ffingers got our pipes when they were introduced....

I have a bootleg pipe also.....the quality and price was great but the communication was poor. Too bad. I think he could make some $$$ if he found some management and treated this as a real business
