    was shipping from curtis sparks good?

    i was just wondering how long it took to recieve sparks items that you ordered? how about c and d? i will be ordering an x-6 from one of these places and i would like it in a one week period from the time i order it. is this possible or do i need to give them more time? thanks

    i gave them both a call and sparks said around 4 days usually and c and d said around a week and a half. by the way, if we order from c and d, do the members here get a discount like 10% off or something? the going price for an x-6 ceramic is $450 and stainless is $480 at c and d. this is cheaper than going through sparks. i was just wondering because i know for some items we get a 10% discount for being members.

    Thumbs up

    From C&D, they usually have the ceramics in stock, stainless is something you might have to wait a bit!!

    maybe i did get the discount, but i sure did not tell him i was an exriders member. also, he did not have either in stock. he had one ceramic but just sold it right before i called. he said it would be a week and a half. sparks said less than a week. i think i am getting the stainless steel. they said it won't rust as easy and it can be polished where the ceramic can't. however, he said the ceramic would yield a little more power since the ceramic keeps the heat in and away from the engine. he said it would act like heat wrap that you put on headers of a car. however, there will be no seat of the pants gain or loss of the ceramic vs. stainless according to c & d.
