Strange. Just recieved this 2mins ago..............First off, I would like to apologize on behalf of BSH for our inability to supply you this product at this time as well as our inaccurate lead times given via DubTek. Unfortunately we have just run into numerous problems around the parts and labor involved with manufacturing this part. We are working hard to resolve the situations however even to us, it doesn’t seem to be any conclusions in the near future. Since you have placed the order, the company that manufactures the manifold itself has been sold and new management has left these orders by us on the back burner. Also, said company, AFI Turbo, purchases the head flanges used in this manifold from a Manufacturing company, KE Enterprises. The machine used to make these head flanges went down in mid-July and after 3 attempts to fix this machine at a cost of over 50K have all failed. There has been attempts to purchases these Head Flanges from other manufactures, however the cost in buying little quantity (less than 1000) would nearly double the end cost of the manifold to the customer, hence why we have tried to be patient with our Manufacturing as well as AFI Turbo to fix their problems and get you a Manifold. The inaccurate lead times that were once given to DubTek were all based off of the 3 attempts to fix the machine. Again we apologize for the inconvenience, and although you are first in line, sadly you are not the only one who is delayed. BSH is however still looking for other opportunities to have the manifolds manufactured however price and convenience are factors. Both AFI and KE (manufacturing) share the same building with BSH and are all tied in contractually, therefore it isn’t as easy as we would like it to be to find a new source.
