Friend of mine ordered a catch can from them. received it within a week or 2. not the best quality, but had no problem with getting it shipped to him.

I bought an LS/Vtec conversion kit from them. Only took a week to get it. Was supposed to come with a tap also, but seller decided to stop including them, but has forgot to take that off the site. Other than that the stuff doesn't look too bad and It didn't take too long for my stuff to get here.

36" lol? It rained pretty hard for a couple days about 2-3 weeks ago...Maybe 3" of rain was about the average.

just off the phone with them,

apparently they were working on some real expensive set ups for some event, so everything else was on hold, but they say their finished now and their going back to customer setups.

so far communication has been good. everytime i call someone answers. my turbo kit is supposed to be done and shipped this week so we will see. if they are backed up that's cool it would just be nice to know if are orders were taking longer or what. will update when i hear from them.

lol
charlie told me that "BWR" was made in L.A. he is making it right there at RMS eh...
I'd be skeptic of any company thats not willing to at least list their physical address on their site or tell you who they really are.

I'm sorry about the guys that ordered and have not recieved your stuff but I wouldn't even buy BWR/RMS when I'm out here near them. that other website describes it best. these guys don't do any R&D on there stuff. that means it's a copy of other shops good products and while full-race and AFI are planted here, these clones still manage to make noise out east....I highly doubt they shipped it, why not be truthful, I rather wait and know it's at the shop than to think it's lost in shipping.......pay attention, that's going to be there next excuse.
