Does anyone know if UPR stands behind their product?

I bought a new UPR off road x-pipe for my 06 GT a few weeks ago and have been fighting with it ever since. This is the biggest piece of garbage! I had to use their extra piece of pipe to extend it on the left side so it would bolt up the flange tight against the manifold. The right side is not bent correct at all to mate up with the flange. I told UPR about this and even sent them a pic of it and they sent me another piece of pipe to put in that side. It fixed the problem for like a day and now it is leaking a little bit around the right side flange.
Has anyone dealt with them and had good luck?

UPR does make some decent things, but most of their crap is knockoffs made in China. They rip off SilverHorse Racing's products constantly. There's worse companies out there, but I refuse to send a dime to UPR.

Yeah I got it to stop leaking for the moment, hopefully it will last this time. I will never buy one from them again, it is very thin and cheaply made.

Unfortunately Scott we've all been stung by something from somewhere. In this day and age of bad economy and dozens of brand choices it's easy for consumers to choose the cheaper alternative then American made and most times they experience what you have experienced. I don't understand why they didn't just take the piece back and send you another one. I hate that crap because it affects me and the rest of the good vendors on here also.

Sorry to hijack your venting!
