I was okay with the waiting years over the promised lead time at first because the MMS sales pitch preaches perfection and high quality parts. Sure, take a few extra years to get the best stuff and take your time making it. Not going to complain about that (Nor would anyone for that matter.) However, the MMS parts delivered in August (4 years later BTW) were of poor quality / amateurish at best. Honestly, my daughter and I and the local machine shop could have done a better job with the powdercoat, milling, and cleaning (and actually finishing the parts)......and had fun in the process as well.

This was supposed to be a matched / bolt together / plug and play/ go racing Stage 2 "kit" that we could put together rather quickly in our backyard, as we did not have a shop at that time, and go have some fun at the track.

MMS originally stated 2 months lead time for the headers and 6 months for the rest before purchase.......

Of course! You're not the first one I've heard of having issues with them so it's disheartening to see that nothing has changed and another person has fallen victim as a result. Yeah the fact that you waited 4 years for parts that you were originally told 2-6 months is just not cool at all. Especially when they're showing up with quality that is subpar from what you were promised or told that you would receive. It also sucks that you've lost quality time with the person that was going to be doing this build with you and that it seems like they've lost interest at least partially as a result.

I hate to say it, but it doesn't seem like you're getting much of anywhere with them. Maybe it's time to see what avenues of approach you can take to get some of your money back for the parts that haven't been delivered yet or file a claim with the BBB or something along those lines. To me these are just unacceptable terms to ask customers to abide by. Especially when you're paying for the product beforehand. That's why I am always a little skeptical when I have to pay before the product is finished because then the person has my money, but no longer has any incentive to finish the work I ordered or in the timeline I ordered it. It's just a very shitty situation and again I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I hope something good eventually comes of it and please keep us posted.
