Remember this guys...some of you (05 and up model) will not have any problem getting your product on time from any source. S&B had to re-design intake tube for the 04 model due to difference in engine bay. My problem with S&B is why list and sale knowing the product isnt ready for shipment. Upon order, it stated in my order it will be ship 3-5 days. Well in my case 3-5 days came and went. Everytime I called, reps told me next day, next day...etc. I will not recommend S&B to anyone I know. Hear this S&B, please hire better marketing director (if you even have one).

I posted his email address so you guys could let him know your thoughts, telling S&B here isn't going to do much. But, he's made his email available thru the magazines, he wants feedback on his company, that he bought a few years ago.
Let him know, I would only assume things will change. Bet he's not aware of people commiting to it shipping when it's still being redesigned or what have you.

It appears that the majority of the complaints are associated with intakes being ordered with custom engraving on the lid. I know that the spindle on our engraving machine was damaged and the down time was longer than expected. The replacement spindle should have been shipped next day air, but it was mistakenly sent UPS ground (which took an extra 5 days). Without making excuses, the spindle and the machine will be fixed after UPS delivers on Monday.
Now, this does not excuse any customer service issues that you might have experienced. Anyone who ordered an intake with an engraved lid should have been informed of the problem and given a new estimated ship date. You have every right to complain and I apologize for the way our team handled this problem.
If anyone would like to know the status on their order, please email me directly and I'll personally give you an update on Monday.
Thanks again,

while I appreciate your concern, my opinion is that you shouldn't put products on your website that are not available to ship. I ordered the intake WITHOUT an engraving and it wasn't available for shipment until over a week later. The problem was that you were still testing them...which made me a little worried that i had bought an intake that was still being tested and I was not informed until i called. Also i heard "tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow" for a while before it was actually shipped. I'll let you know what i think of the filter when i FINALLY get it. Thanks.
BTW, Berry answered my emails promptly and was the only to do so, which was impressive, and i appreciate that.

When you were being told "tomorrow", did you happen to get the name of the person with whom you were speaking with? You mention that Berry answered your emails promptly, so is he the only person who you spoke with?
In regards to the 2004 model specific intake, I know that it was pulled from the website because of fitment issues about a week after the 75-5016 was launched. This is due to Ford placing an electrical box where our S&B air box would normally sit. This electrical box was moved on 2005+ model year F150's. This is what caused out fitment issue and why we had to redesign ONLY the mounting system for the 2004 years only.
When you were told that we were still "testing" the intake, the testing was actually fitment tests and not performance tests. Nothing has changed on the 2004 model specific kit other than the mounting hole location on the box and about 1/4" of material on the tube.
Does any of this excuse the delay in your shipment? No, it does not and I again apologize for any trouble that this may have caused you. Please email me directly so I can look into your order and hopefully find a way to satisfy you. I don't like unhappy customers and I'd appreciate a chance to make things right with you.
Thanks again for you reply and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Jay Crouch

got my intake today and installed it and here are my:
Likes:
easy install
great instructions
sounds great
decent gains
Dislikes:
some parts were a little rough such as the engraving and stamp on the tube
the tube on the left (passanger side) should have been left OEM if possible
VERY Tight fit on the throttle body
TESTING......I TESTED THE TRUCK, SLOW, THEN GUNNED THE HELL OUT OF IT AND NO CEL.
