I have seen them quite a bit in the Forced Induction section on www.impalassforum.com Keith seems to be fairly decent guy, from what I have noticed for talking to him on that website.

I spend a lot of time on the Buick boards. Kieth Mease is the guy, and he did have problems a while back. IIRC, he got way more business than he could handle and had delays in getting stuff out on time. I can only ASSume it's been rectified as there hasn't been much talk lately...

thanks. Have you heard how good of work he does? Also have you heard anything about race proven motors (R.P.M) out of CA there closer to me and looks like they do some nice work.

Mike lee owns R.P.M and does excellent work. He post a good deal over at syty.net and had my 321 SS headers built and did the valve covers to.

I believe Mease did some pretty nice stuff, just got overloaded for a time. There was another Buick vendor that went through the same thing, Tony DeQuick @ CAS. I bought my custom front mount IC from him just before the problems started, it's a nice piece. Just goes to show, being a vendor isn't easy!

That thing is bad ***. Those are the same design headers i was going to go with. i think im going to end up going with rpm there alot closer to me and i have not heard any problems with them and they are resonably priced. are you happy with your headers any complaints.

Theres a huge difference between being "busy" and being an irresponsible *******. Tony straight fucked some guys from what I recall. Mease, all I remember was people waiting forever for ****, which to a degree I understand, I get behind too, but he pretty much lied to people saying things like "Your parts were shipped such and such date", or whatever, when he knew he was lying.

I wouldn't use anyone with that kind of negative feedback, but thats just me. I have a hard enough time with the "good" ones.

It was more than "some" troouble. It was quite a bit. He does great work, its just getting him to send you the stuff or answer your emails or phone calls concerning your parts which he makes you pay for in advance. If you could pay for them when they shipped like 99% of other businesses do, I bet he'd be more responsive to the customers.

he wanted 1500 down and told me it would be around 3 weeks to get them out. I think im going to go with RPM they do good work and no complaints that i know of and there prices were about the same 2700 for 321 stainless forward swept with v band.
