I got a call on 3/6/25 and he said my order is ready to ship. I recently sold my car so I no longer need the vents, so I told him I’ll just take a refund. He then told me it will take a couple weeks to receive my refund, so I told him” fine, just send me the vents and I will resell them to recoup my money.” I want the fastest solution, whether it be refund or fulfill my order because I don’t trust anything he says anymore. He then said he would rather refund me the money than send the order. He said I will get my money back in a couple weeks because a bunch of people want refunds. I haven’t received the refund yet…. He tried to tell me the reason for the hold up on the vents is due to the new tariffs (which I call bull$h!t)…. I will update once/if I receive my refund.

Wow. I'm order 3579, so if you were 3298 and it was finally ready to ship, I'm screwed. His website says tariffs aren't impacting shipments! Ugh.

I do not understand anyone who owns a business and thinks lying or refusing to respond to customers is the way to go. It makes no sense. Even if the customer eventually gets his parts the odds of them ordering again or recommending that company are zilch.

Normally in these situations I've been able to help, but in this case he won't respond to me either.

My order for a single VSR was #3367, I ordered in Sept 2023 and received it early Feb 2024. I knew it was a risk when I ordered but his customer service person was fairly responsive back then when I would inquire via email. I’m not bringing this up to defend them, I truly feel for the numerous people in your position. I’m surprised someone like Holley (or a company in their vast portfolio) hasn’t come up with an alternative product.

Talked to John today - he said my parts are made and shipping within a week. So, hopefully good news soon.

Chassisworks did knock off the original design and makes it overseas - I think this was the design that had issues with ethanol.

The Chassiworks vent cans thread together with an O ring. The older IIMuch cans were epoxied/glued whatever and if I remember right the ethanol was attacking the adhesive.

I like the stainless version from IIMuch but I wish they weren't so hard to get.

I placed an order for the fuel and differential vent combinination on 5/3/24 order #3499. Still waiting and every time I call I get the "It should ship next week" answer.

I ended up ordering and receiving in a timely manner the Chassis works vent for one project. If the IIMuch vents ever arrive those will be used on another project.
