ECS better not fuck this up.

Really cool guys, let Zach and I get an up close look at their Z4 racecar. By far the friendliest crew that I encountered up there.

I have leadfoots old setup. It sounds pretty good with not much rasp. He described it as a slightly lubed meat grinder

I'm not sure if the heat wrap gets rid of the sound though.

I hope there customer service doesn't go to shit.  I have been buying from them for years now and even if they have made a mistake they have gotten me taken care of.  They have also helped me in a pinch a few times with free next day shipping or discounted shipping prices.

Story time.

The week before my son was born my water pump died.  I shopped around for the part and found a package deal at TMS for the water pump, thermostat and hose for a very reasonable price.  I ordered the parts on the Thursday morning going into the memorial day weekend.  I called to see if they could ship it out right away from me to guarantee I would have it before the weekend.  The sales rep said with standard shipping I wouldn't have the package until the following Wednesday because of the holiday weekend and he said that he could change it to overnight or 2 day if I could pay the difference in shipping.  I told him that I couldn't really swing the extra shipping costs as the amount I was spending on the water pump/thermostat was already unexpected (over $500) and with my son due any day I just couldn't do it.  He asked me a few questions about my son and then told me he would go ahead and cover the difference for the 2 day shipping so I could have it by Saturday.  I thanked him profusely and he graciously accepted.  He then interrupted me and said, "Well what do you think about us throwing in a shirt for the little guy?"  I asked how much and he said, "Don't worry about it, it's our gift to you!  Congratulations!".  We picked out a TMS Future Race Car Driver shirt in the smallest size they had and decided he would just have to grow into it.  A couple days later my package showed up with the shirt.

This is why I buy from Turner Motorsports and I have more stories like it.  I have worked in retail for most of my life and in an auto repair retail setting for almost 10 years now and I couldn't begin to tell you how many seminars I have sat through about how to deliver good customer service.  These guys nail it every time.  It's not that they go above and beyond and give a "WOW!" factor with every purchase but they are consistently excellent.

I haven't ordered through Turner yet but spoke with a rep last week. As of this year Turner and now ECS are the U.S. Distributors for Super Sprint exhausts. The rep told me they've cut down wait times in 1/2 for factory orders and plan stocking the product line.

This.  I just placed a number of orders from different vendors (ECS, Turner, and FCP Euro) and ECS was the only one that gave me trouble.
