Product quality problems which are not included in the warranty include but not limited to the following:
Consumables: Under prolonged use, damaged flanges/screws/flange gaskets/springs/diaphragms/several strips/aluminum adapters... or slight rusting or discoloration of the product is common and natural.
The heat protector (heat wrap or heat shield) is consumable and has a certain life span. Due to differences in personal usage or frequent disassembly, damage caused by wear and tear is common.
The tips and special baking color are decorative parts. Before installation, please make sure that the appearance meets the requirements. Once installed and used, the return or exchange of the appearance will not be accepted. Pleae note that the decorative products will be affected by extreme environments. Therefore, there may be slight discoloration after prolonged use. In order to extend the tip’s lifespan, DO NOT wash with corrosive chemicals.
Regardless of whether it is a 200 cell catalyst or a catalyst-delete pipe, iPE products are designed for motorsport and track racing use only. A friendly reminder, by deleting the catalytic converters or modifying certain parts of the exhaust system, the chances of triggering the CEL 'Check Engine Light' and ‘OPF/GPF (Otto Particulate Filter / Gasoline Particle Filter) ’ warning signal are increased in certain car models and our warranty DOES NOT cover this or other software incompatibilities.
We recommend remapping the vehicle's ECU to prevent potential conflicts.The OBD control system adopts the CAN communication mode. If the vehicle itself does not support this mode or there are other OBD interface devices and taps in the vehicle, the OBD control system cannot be controlled normally, it is not covered by the warranty.
In order to protect the integrity and functionality of the exhaust system. During Valve OFF Mode, the valves will automatically open when 4,000 RPM is reached as a safety precaution.(Remind that the remote controller needs to install the accelerator signal line and set it properly (for example, when the accelerator pedal depth is about 3,000 RPM), as a safety precaution in the automatic mode, the manual mode control process requires the user to open the valve in time as a safe operation).
