No company is 100% perfect and mistakes (though extremely rare with cp-e) will occur occasionally. This just unfortunately happened to be one of those times. What's far more telling is how a company or a vendor acts when confronted with an issue such as this. Do they shrug off blame and try to delay as long as possible? Or do they step up, accept the blame, and immediately set a plan in motion to fix the issue? I gotta say that [MENTION=5976]ron@whoosh[/MENTION] and cp-e stepped up 110%.
I can personally vouch that Ron immediately went to work on the issue as soon as I informed him of it. Fast enough that none of us had yet attempted to install the exhaust yet even though some of us already had it in our grubby little paws. I've also spoken to him by phone, and it was plainly clear that he genuinely cares about his customers and their satisfaction. He has gone above and beyond, keeping us informed every step of the way of what was happening. It's this commitment to customer satisfaction (and really good prices) that will keep me spending my money at Whoosh. Thanks Ron!
As for cp-e themselves, I'm personally very pleased with the way they've handled this. Yeah this sucks, but they immediately took blame and acted very appropriately and professionally. Also, the holidays increased the turnaround time a little, but that's to be expected, so no biggie. They're known for their build quality, so I have no doubt that when I get my resonator back, it'll be just as well-built and pretty as the rest of the exhaust. I can't wait to install it!
