Sub standard parts for a slightly lower… Sub standard parts for a slightly lower price. Ordered a new exhaust system from these guys and every single piece is smaller than factory, smaller pipes, smaller resonators, nothing up to spec or interchangeable with factory parts.

False advertisement on 08/29/22 I bought from UPSW Auto Parts so called 2011 "Subaru Forester X 2.5L Stainless Steel Resonator Muffler Exhaust System Kit", order # U-21548. While working on my car's brakes recently, I found all parts badly rusty (for being made of stainless steel). Sent pictures and a complaint to customer service. and there is a response I got back: Hi Thank you for your email and sorry for the inconvenience. All steel can be rusted, it's normal. This part is still under warranty. The warranty only covers If the part has a hole, rattling noise, etc and we can provide a REPLACEMENT. Rust is not covered under the warranty. Thanks you, ANA I've been in the manufacturing business for 40 years and know for sure the difference between carbon and stainless steels.

Very long to arrive and not 100% Although the part was claimed to be coming from my state, it apparently was shipped from one state over - not a big deal - except it took almost 2 weeks for the order to arrive! That said, the muffler system was packed appropriately and was in ok condition. My mechanic said there was an issue with one of the fittings.

I briefly read the reviews for UPSW and… I briefly read the reviews for UPSW and thought they were ok. I did notice that one customer wasn't happy because of poor packaging. When I received my replacement exhaust system it was damaged with dents and gouges. It was pretty bad that the muffler I removed after 120,000 miles was in better shape then the new one from UPSW. Their excuse was "we pack them loosely and some damage is typical." Another line was "The damage is cosmetic and won't impact its function." They did offer to replace it, but I didn’t have a month to wait. I also wasn't confident the replacement would be in any better shape. I will not order from them again and recommend others find a different source for replacement exhaust parts. The company response to my review was correct. I did suggest a partial return to save us both shipping costs. After seeing some other reviews I figured it was best to just cut my losses and not order from them again. The low rating was based on my negative experience with poor customer service and email responses after receiving damaged parts. Please take a look at their reviews on Google. Much different then this rating. .

02' Nissan Pathfinder 02' Nissan Pathfinder. The parts did not match my Pathfinder. 1) The pipes to the resonator were the wrong ones needed. Now I'll have to return them and god only knows if thats possible. 2) The pipes going to the resonator were angled upwards making installation all but impossible. 3) Due to pipes being angled upwards the entire back of the exhaust system is angled upwards too and the muffler exit pipe now hits the bumper. I'll have to take this to a place to have it fixed correctly. This system is cheap for a reason. Get under your Pathfinder and take pictures before hand. Don't make my mistake.
