I was looking at some exhaust parts on eBay when I came upon their store. They had a legit looking logo so I thought I’d see if they have a brick and mortar and I found their website. They had good eBay reviews but I didn’t buy anything from them. As always, Caveat emptor.

This is the same place, The Speedshop in Toledo. Again, I don’t have any connection to these folks but might be worth a call. They are on Facebook too. The phone number is at the bottom of the screen shot. Good luck!

I checked in early december and the D ports will not be available until March. This was moved back from this past October when I asked in August. No idea on round port stuff.

I just hope they have other lines of business to rely on. This has to be a blow to them.

I called in Aug regarding d ports. I was told they would ship in Oct, I tried to buy a pair and he refused money until an order was shipped. Took my ph no. and said I was on his 'short' list to call when they were ready. I finally called back in Dec, thats when I got the March date.

Been on the “list” for round port long branch for a few years now. Will be getting a custom set of round port 2” headers made for my ‘63 Safari. Will flow way better!

I just noticed in another thread someone had gotten an e-mail stating round ports were in stock. I have an order for D ports going back to July of 2021. I went to the RARE page hoping for an update on my order and I got one...my order status was changed to canceled. It wasn't canceled by me. I sent an e-mail asking what happened, waiting for a reply.
