I bought my Bub 7's used so I would be SOL anyway. But I never realized they had such a short warranty period. Not very reassuring for future purchases. Kinda makes you wonder how Cobra exhaust can offer a limited lifetime warranty.

This does not cover finishes such as plating, or painted surfaces with discoloration or rust.
What else can go wrong????? LMAO!

This is equal to zero warranty!

They used to have 1 year, and "used to" be good about replacing the faded tips.
I personally knew folks who successfully had theirs replaced.

New company now, maximizing their income. Consumer beware.

Same thing with Rush Pipes, I had bluing issues and they replaced my set after the dealer called them.
After reading this, I'm glad I bought D&D as well. Here are their two warranty pages that came with my FatCat.

That's good to know, thanks for the info. I will be switching pipes as I refuse to give Bub any more of my money.

I'm leaning towards Cobra and/or FuelMoto because of this.

I had bub's on my last bike... I was not impressed at all with the quality. They did replace one of my tips that the chrome was flaking on under warranty but when they flaked again I was SOL. The heat shields never stayed tight either. I was always fiddling with them.

Glad i read this thread, fixin to get exhaust for my bike and narrowed it down to fatcat, bassani road rage, or bub 7 duals. Was really leaning toward the bub 7 duals but now I'm reconsidering. I know alot of the manufacturers only have a 90 day warranty but to treat your customers badly when they call and ask questions how is that good business. Think i'm gonna look around somemore before i buy, heard really good things about v&h and nothin but good stuff about fuel moto as far as quality and customer service.

We offer a 2 year warranty on Jackpot mufflers, a 3 year warranty on Jackpot stainless head pipes, and a lifetime warranty on the exhaust packing in all of our products.
