    I was told that about 15 sets of 1GR long tube headers were shipped from Thorley today.

    I sent tacking info to the customers that Thorley notified me about.

    Please don't send a bunch of emails asking if yours has shipped or not. If I get word they shipped I will let you know.

    Thanks!!

    one thing i have learned from taking online college is it is so easy to misinterpret what some one is saying because you can only read words you cant hear a tone of voice or see any facial expressions and can see why someone could get upset with short answers to questions but people have a lot going on and sometimes just because we have time to write a drawn out question doesn't mean they have the time to reply in the same manner. I have bugged the hell out of gadget with tons of questions and get 1,2,3 word replies but they are to the point and i don't take it personal i understand hes a busy guy. That being said i received no tracking info today so my fingers are crossed for tomorrow but still have to wait for my urd y pipe before i can install it all but it will be nice to finally have my headers in possession i just want mo powa!!!

    Now you question my integrity? Come on... just be honest or ignore this post (you'll come out looking better). Here's a direct copy of my URDUSA.com account. I copied word for word (and every word) that was in your computer generated email. It's verbatum and I even took a picture of my URD account.

    I'm over it and ready to move on, but you now telling everyone I'm posting untruths is not correct. I will no longer do business with All Pro because on 3 separate occasions they sold me the wrong product, bad product or simply stated they'd give me a refund and didn't. Now I've got Gadget stating I'm lying and that is totally false. I'm tempted to share my URD username and password with everyone so they can log onto my account and see for themselves. I'm very honest and just wanted to be treated fairly. Here's my URDUSA account. You can see how I tried to handle the transaction by THANKING you for pulling together the GB... geesh.

    Yes, that is exactly what you received that has upset you so much. You were automatically copied on the update to the order record.

    The notation that was placed in the order record was not directed toward you.

    I did send you an email in response to the email you sent to URD. That is separate from the update to the order record you were copied on.

    I did not accuse you of misrepresenting anything or had no intention of insulting your integrity, simply trying to explain the difference between and email sent you to and a automatic copy of the order record update, but I guess I am not getting through.

    Anyway, there was no intention in any way to offend you, or upset you in any way and I apologize it any our our actions have upset you.

    IMO gadget did nothing wrong.. they simply stated you felt overcharged....

    they are not allowed to say they overcharged you.

    they place these logs on record so they make a nuetral comment. Dr rabbitfur you are a cool guy but it seems to me you take things to the butt

    Give me a call when you are ready. I am sure we can cut you a little slack, but can't do the DEEP 20%.

I dont think Gadget did anything wrong here. SO GET YOUR PANTIES OUT OF YOUR ASS, PUT YOUR HEADERS ON YOUR TRUCK AND DRIVE AWAY.

    All is in the past. I shared my concerns (maybe I misunderstood your emails - I'm trying to see things from your perspective) and Gadget handled things well as of his last post. I didn't necessarily agree with everything that was said, but this is something that I'll let go and move on. I'm still glad the GB went well and that everyone is supporting URD as I've said multiple times.


    Shemicals - wouldn't know what you're talking about... sounds like you're experienced in that area... :D

    Also, I'm sure if you knew me personally, you wouldn't have been so bold as to have made that comment. :cool:

    Now where are my damn headers?

    If that's a reference to I'm not a ******t no experience there.
    You just like drama it seems.
    I'm not coming at you sideways but you are taking things to an extreme. Just an outside perspective

    got mine via FedEx today :D thanks Gadget, URD, and DT for the GB! all i need is the truck, which is on preorder and should arrive in a few weeks. Quick, probably lame, question: for a brand spankin' new truck should i wait until after a certain number of break-in miles before installing the headers?

    Headers should have no effect on break-in. I'd say go ahead, while the bolts are still nice and easy to remove :)
