Jonny Tig group buy

[Reldas]

Jonny ruining his rep with poor communication, i was going to buy the majority of my mods from him but after seeing how he treats customers that have already paid for their items i am thinking i will look elsewhere. He took on more than he could handle and seems like he doesnt have the stones to admit it so he is in hiding lol

I don't necessarily think group buys suck in principle, and to some extent all this is related to factors outside anyone's control. The primary thing making this an awful experience, for me, isn't the time, it's the poor communication. I'm a patient guy, I'm willing to wait for good quality and to tolerate delays when they make sense, but if things are messed up just tell me up front, don't make me email you multiple times just to get told a new problem has come up. If any other vendors are out there keeping an eye on this thread, let it be a lesson, because once these things finally arrive and get installed I could have total satisfaction in the workmanship and performance, and I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Not until the company reforms how it works with its customers.

Well said.

Could someone post some pics of the heat shields before and after install pls. I’m in the process of making some for Injen and would like to have a close look at the JT setup. Thx in advance. Cheers.

It’s a porous setup.
Gap in the front.
Completely open in back.
The top looks cool tho.

The biggest problem with these group buys is he is taking all the money up front, leaving no incentive to finish them quickly.

You'd like to think the stamped JT cover was actually a heat shield but it is purely a decorative cover. In some states in Oz its law that the filters can not be visible from front view. Its a defect if caught un covered saw the are purely asthetical.

NSW is one of those states right ?

 

[Dodger Blue]

I bet you could 3d print an assembly or perhaps even a single piece shield that attaches the same way but doesn't have the gaps.

Correct, both times i have had air intakes installed the mechanics proviso was that shields had to be installed otherwise he wouldn't do the install.

My stuff is finally shipping. I'll let you all know how it goes, hopefully with some pics of the install. My Stinger has been in the shop for close to a month now while the dealer has exhausted every method of fixing my sunroof rattle (they finally gave up on easy fixes and are ordering parts, I could make a whole other thread about this debacle) but whenever it's out I've got some big jobs to do to it. Hoping my QS exhaust ships soon as well.

Congratulations. Glad to hear something is happening. What number invoice were you?

Hmm I’m 1136 and I was told that the latest delay is related to a shortage of clamps and filters. Maybe this means I’ll be getting mine soon as well(?) How were you informed that your order was shipping?

I was informed of that delay as well (see my earlier posts) so I'm sure if mine is shipping then yours should be coming soon too. Maybe the expedited mine because I've been complaining so much

They sent me an email with the tracking number.

 

[jdogonroad]

That’s good to here. I’m waiting on both, too. 1134 here.

 

[jdogonroad]

Got tracking number last Tuesday.

this wait is still going? Man by the time they arrive some of you guys won't even need the heat shields anymore. I took the tops off mine, the red filters match better with my bay. will probably get clear covers cut for me when it gets warmer.

Mine have shown up, but yeah this whole ordeal was a bit ridiculous wasn't it?

I'm looking into crafting a solution to create true airboxes out of the covers, maybe cutting some foam to fill the gaps. Gonna have to get it installed and see what's possible.

Yeah some true cold air boxes might be good. The data might be interesting. If your near sac I might be able to help with the install.

Sacramento is pretty far. I'm in San Luis Obispo. Thanks for offering though.
