I sincerely doubt it. Ripp mods has been around for a long time and I have used many of their products. I have always gotten great support from them and they have often sent me updated parts for free to help me with any minor issues I may have had with their SC setups. I understand how hectic it is running a shop and how misunderstandings happen. I would not be quick to judge before you hear their side. As far as I know Ripp has always delivered innovative products to the consumer and should not compared to other companies that deliver nothing to the consumer but promises and credit card bills.

If you and other members of this forum have had good experiences with them, than thats great, and i only wish the best for other users that go to them. However, anyone who really knows what Ross is about will stay away from there. Sure, Perry might be a good tuner, and they might have decent equipment, but arrogance and ignorance are MAJOR downflaws of their shop.
So without starting a war people, take my opinion for whatever its worth. I have never used the shop. A friend of mine who had a focus went to them, and had the intake manifold blow off his car while cruising on the highway. They can deny anything they want, but it DID happen. I see/hear the local talk about how RIPP blows up cars - but no one personal besides that 1 friend has actually used them. My cousin was at one point friends with the owner, and has told me not so great things about the owner and how he handles business and clients. I can just say that RIPP will never have my business.
and thats all i really have to say

Ripp's been around for a while and while they're not going out of business, they're not growing by leaps and bounds which does kinda tell you something... Arrogance and Ignorance are major downfalls of any shop... Take ZPI :D With any shop you'll have good and bad experiences. Talk gets around fast - especially negative talk. How many of the people at the local meets have actually HAD work done there?
Still - They did good work on my car and good work on several tC owners' cars... many of who I know personally. Sure they may not know everything but you can't say that the people there are inexperienced. Phil had a great SRT-4... and they work on Subies, Evos, and Skylines all the time. For my own turbo install they were very professional.
Dagreat1 - do you know who exactly worked on your car? Did you have a CEL when you brought it in?

I've seen and heard enough bad things to say stay away. Every company will have dissatisfied costomers, but just read the amount of negativity surrounding that shop. It seems excessive. A smart consumer should look at that stuff, especially considering the amount of $ you are spending. But if you got $ to just throw around, I'll send you my paypal account. 
Bottom line, the complaints are real, the problems are real, the people making the complaints are real. Means they will not have my business till they fix the problems, and the compliments out wiegh the complaints.
