Oh, it was around Christmas. First, when you call the 800 number, you're not actually talking to Ups, but a call center that relays info to Ups. The call center employees don't give the best info. That last week before Christmas is our heaviest week and it's more likely that your package was left behind because it wouldn't fit on truck. A lot of large packages (referred to as bulk) fill the trucks up quickly and a lot of them must be left behind so, it kind of makes sense what happened.

It must have been a call center, I asked if they would hold it and I would pick it up the next day and she said it wasn't at that location, any other time they would just hold it for the next day and I would pick it up, I was just calling to make sure something didn't happen to the package if it was left a my house, It was still super fast service, I ordered the part on 12/19 and had it 12/21 during the Christmas week, I saw you guys working late every day that week, I don't know how you do it!!

Nice set-up. Wonder if it'll fit a GT500?

This is still $699 and still free shipping.

If a mod sees this, could maybe edit the thread title to remove the "until 12/23".

Mine should arrive This Friday. Install it Saturday Morning. Hear how it sounds then go from there and maybe order the Pypes Super system to go from Boss setup to rear with no Mufflers.

anyone installed on a convertible?
This is from the website:
Can be used on the 2011-2013 Mustang GT Convertible with a spacer and longer bolt to attach the side pipe under the convertible brace

What kind of spacer and how long of a bolt?

I think the convertible has the brace that hangs down so you would have to have a spacer and long enough bolt to clear the rear brace, look for the bolt hole in the back of your rocker. There is only 1 bolt that attaches the side pipe to the rocker panel. It bolts directly to the rocker panel
The pic of the blue car was my 06 vert that has the brace in the rear (ignore the can, I was showing that it was too low for my taste with the brace down there)
I don't know of the 2011 up have the same type of brace in the rear, I was just going by what my 06 had.

I installed one a few weeks ago.
(Installation note, the front clamp bolts are a pain)
My car is totally stock (drivetrain). I chose this part because, (a) I wanted a Ford Racing part so I knew it would fit right, (b) I wanted some flexibility with the ability of not requiring a tune, and (c) it seemed like a pretty cool layout.
I removed the plates when I installed it and the car is pretty evil sounding. It sounds really good when you get over 3,000 rpm.
My youngest boy now says the car sounds like Lightning McQueen (he is 4).

As for daily driving, the sound might be too much for some. I only drive this car to work once a week or so, but I still think I am going to try one of the 7/8" plates and see what that sounds like.

I ordered it already, normally takes two weeks to get a package, might take three weeks. We are having gobs and gobs of snow.

I have been running without the restrictor plates and it sounds great but I'm afraid that is is too loud, today I took the stock plates and used a 22MM hole saw and drilled them out and installed them. It's a little quieter but still sounds great, I will run them for a while and see if I like them, if not it's easy to remove the again.

Would this cause any drone issues? I wonder how they'd sound with Borla ATAK's?

I'm jumping into this game late...but is there any thing different other than sound? I've been wanting this for a while just trying to see if its better with this or an off road H-pipe.

The sound is pretty good since it runs out the side of the car and the rear, you can hear it better from inside the car. I took the restrictor plates back out. Here is a video http://youtu.be/AizD_HFV6V4 I have the gt500 mufflers and boss side pipes

Its hard to determine from a video. How loud is it really without the restrictor plates? Like cops all over you loud or..?

I see you have the idle tune. Do you have a different H or X pipe?
