Warranty vs. Return Policy
Use Warranty Claim When:
- Product has been installed and used
- Defect appeared after installation
- Outside 30-day return window
- Product failed under normal use
Use Return Policy When:
- Product is unused and unopened
- Within 30 days of delivery
- Wrong part ordered
- Changed your mind
Installation & Labor Coverage
Important: Manufacturer warranties cover the product only, not installation labor.
What This Means:
- If a warranty claim is approved, you'll receive a replacement part free
- Labor to remove failed part and install replacement is not covered
- This is standard across all exhaust manufacturers
Our Recommendation:
Consider purchasing installation from a professional shop. Many shops offer labor warranties on their work separate from parts warranty.

Aftermarket vs. OEM Warranties
Aftermarket Performance Warranties:

OEM Replacement Warranties:
