    Be very cautious if buying anything from him......

    July 9, agreed to purchase a used K&N intake from him.

    July 13, payment sent.

    July 21, sent to wrong person.

    August 2, got shipment, but missing parts that are needed to install intake.

    August 6, he was sending the rest of the parts to me.

    August 19, no communication at all.

    This is the Cole's Notes version.

    So here I am with 80% of a K&N intake that I can't use, as the PCM bracket (critical part) and two other brackets are missing.

    Got an e-mail from camo yesterday...... it had an image of a USPS 2 day tag due to arrive 08/22, and he says "Here you go kid. Do me a favor and leave me alone now".

    Are you kidding me? What a twat!

    So he didn't send the parts on 08/06 like he said he was. Hopefully that is a legit USPS tag.

    especially when you are missing numbers. I just got a package from Josh today that's the only reason I know how many numbers should be there.

    True, but at last post all the #'s. I'm going by the delivery date of 08/24. Hopefully it is for real.

    I had to look at my history of parcels to find out 2 #'s are missing. Now I know how Charlie Brown felt. LOL

    My tracking tag says it was shipped on the 16th and was Priority 2 day and expected date of the 18th, and it just arrived today to our business address.

    Ad "21" to the end of that tracking #. Parcel arrived at my PO box, so just have to make a special trip down there to get it.

    Well finally, hopefully it's not just an empty box or a Charlie Brown box.

    And it continues.....

    I am missing the brackets circled:






    Camo acknowledged that he had the one small bracket and the "tray" or base plate. This is the small bracket:


    "i don't have the other bracket on the left side, i have the tray. you got all the clamps. i'll send out the bracket and tray."




    He sends the small bracket only, along with 2 bolts, 2 washers and some gravel. Now, I did ask for as much of the nuts and bolts as possible. I guess I should be thankful for the free gravel.

    at this point i suggest just going to home depot and buying some flat stock thats like 1/4 wide, bend and cut it to fit, drill your new holes and call yourself a fabricator for a few minutes lol

    pick up some nuts and bolts too.

    whats the gravel for? to toss in your intake for diy porting? nice touch.

    EDIT: i missed the tray part missing, what an asshole.

    Yup. The tray is all I really need. So freaking simple. And I'm sure the gravel was on purpose. Asshole for sure!

    is the tray just flat and smooth? if so h/d also has flat square sheets pre cut to a few sizes you maybe able to work with.


    if you have some other metal bars and c clamps you can clamp it and hammer over the lips on the edges. most of us dont have a metal brake. but its nice when you do.

    I can only go by the instructions, and the tray appears to be mostly flat, but has bent sides and a drop down part for mounting. I can make or get something made, but $20 for a new one makes more sense. Its more the principal for me; I paid for a K&N CAI, so I expect the whole CAI, not part of it.
