Be careful in your dealings with By Design. I had a nightmare experience with them this year that lasted for 6 mos.

Sounds like you and I had very similar transactions with ByDesign. I also had to go through the dispute process and ByDesign fought until the end. Never again would I do business with them. They do have nice colored print ads though - which you can use to shop other merchants. :-)

I inquired about muffler tips and had actually called them 3 times. They didn't to take the extra step to get them for me.

I am currently going through the custom tune process with ByDesign. Seven generations in and have actually gone backwards from a Cobb Stage 3 tune. Awaiting more word and another tune right now. I will update this thread as time goes on.
