10 week backorder on AFR's

I finally scraped up enough cash to order my 195cc AFR's, and they are back ordered 10 weeks. Has anyone else had to wait this long?

They told me eight weeks on the tenth of February, I hope to see them the middle of next month. I wonder if they'll throw in a free competion port job for the wait .

2 fellas I know have been told 12 week wait period. But good things come to those who wait!! hopefully they can expand their facilities to cut down on lead time since 3 months in any business is a really really long time!!

A few friends bought a set and 12 weeks turned into 16. Hope this is not the case for you.

Think it was 7 or 8 weeks before I got mine, well worth the wait though.

I ordered mine and was told it would be 8-10 weeks before they would even ship...

I was surpised when I came home 2 weeks later and had a UPS Package Notice on my door about a package from Air Flow Research. I picked them up later that night at UPS.

I don't know why I got mine so early, but I did. They look wonderful too.

They aren't worth the wait imho. You would be better off getting some bare trick flow 23's and having the ported anf set up to your needs.

I would think they should start expanding but, then again by the time they do that there desighn will be old and out of date.
