I had no issues with preordering and the payment info was very easy to update. Mine is out for delivery today!

Man im jealous, you are lucky. I pre ordered within minutes of release. Got the email about my card being declined (same info i placed the order with) so i called in to give them the info again, then got a call that they needed my info yet again, called back and gave it again and it still hasn't been shipped.

Also had this same problem when i pre ordered the catch can. Really hope it doesn't happen again with the intercooler. Disappointed since i probably wont receive it by this weekend. They have got to come up with a better pre-order charging system.

I also happen to live in the area that their local UPS hub delivers to daily. So its only 1 day shipping for me. Just luck

I received mine Friday and Installed it Saturday. I could careless if it adds any power before or after a tune, because it sounds amazing!

Hi Nick I sent you a PM. Wanted to see if I could get an update. Are the orders not being shipped based on the order it was preordered ?

So Sorry I missed that one! Replying now!

Hmm I just received another order confirmation this morning. I was hoping for a shipping confirmation. I'm hoping it's a good sign and it'll be shipped soon!

Got it! Working on checking that ASAP. I'll Shoot you a message once I have some info for you!

Also, I just wanted to let you guys now that our presale has come to a close for this intake, and we have officially launched!

I'll still be here to help you guys out who are having issues with your credit cards. We're still working on getting all of those orders processed so hang tight, your intakes are coming!

I'm looking forward to seeing these installed!

-Nick

Friendly reminder that you have to take the intake off to change the transmission fluid anyways... I'm highly debating on just waiting to install to do the trans flush at the same time Mishimoto should do a bundle package that sends the intake and our trans fluid (joking!)

I called last week to give Mishi updated CC info to avoid any issues & still got an email on Friday that my CC had been declined. I called this morning and the CC # they had was good, but he said something about a standard order system versus an auxiliary order system. He said that he would get it all sorted out, but no final order nor shipping confirmation yet. I ordered the intake the same day it went on pre-sale, but I'm sure they will get it all figured out ASAP. I'm guessing that this may have been an unprecedented situation with all the interest & pre-orders, so maybe it will help them get the pre-sale procedures in order. I know folks are getting frustrated, but I think Mishi got caught trying to help out the customer TOO much in this case & it caused some issues.

My thinking is ill get it when i get it. not concerned in the slightest. to be fair my R is still in storage waiting for the warm weather and clean roads so i guess thats why im so patient hahaha. i know the mishimoto team is doing their absolute best and ill see my intake soon enough. keep up the great work guys, very much appreciated!

Placed my order yesterday. My stock intake has been removed and waiting for new replacement.

sounds amazing, did some track testing today, will examine logs tomorrow
