upr x pipe

[MRE 700]

I was told by a sales rep at upr that their x pipes are not stainless steel, but they are aluminized and will never rust. Is this true that they will never rust even though they aren't stainless?

 

[helty]

im not speakng from experience with the upr, but "never rust" and "aluminum" dont go together very well. even products like mac, who coats their pro-chamber and cat-back to prevent rust, eventally rusts. im not saying the upr will rust, ive heard a lot of good things about it, but my hometown is in PA so getting stainless steel was important to me. i just think that over time, any coating will wear off and then the aluminum will start to rust.

just try to find somebody with a upr x-pipe in their sig, and send them a PM. ask them about any rusting issues

I've had mine on since March and its still brand new looking! It does leak a little, but I'm going to try the Napa stud thing on the drivers side instead of the included little cone do-hicky.

No problems here, still looks brand new Although it hasn't seen a winter or salt or anything.

Hey, what's the Napa stud thing? I've got the UPR X-pipe leak, and was planning on pulling it off tonight, and just putting some high temp sealant on each joint with a new gasket, but if there's a better fix... ???

BTW, I've had mine for a month or two, so couldn't tell you about rust, but I'm sure it will eventually... paints and coatings will eventually chip or wear off and rust, especially on something UNDER your car that gets really hot, then cool, then hot.......

MAC o/r x here. 4 months and no prollems. but im in west Texas with lil or no humidity... MAC is basically the same as upr ive heard

I've only had my UPR on for a couple of months, but I was wondering about the leak everyone is talking about. How do you tell if you have a leak?

 

[VPStang]

i've heard the upr X's sound really good....you guys happy with yours?

 

[closer9]

Well, I took mine off tonight to fix the "leak", put it all back together, and still there... I'm tired of messing with it. I'll probably just order a MAC H, and sell mine...

upr x-pipe

I had the upr x-pipe w/out cats, on for a couple of months and took it off because it leaked and it sounded like crap. It was way to raspy and sounded like a damn civic!! If i were you i would spend the extra money and get bassani!! Much Better!!!

 

[nj01droptop]

Had mine on since February, No leaks and still looks new.

 

[ceracer33]

i have the upr off road x, no leak and i love the sound of mine. sounded like crap with the dynomax bullet mufflers i had, but i took them off and put on spintech pro streets and now it sounds awesome. i love it. would never get rid of it now.

Oh yeah, for the price and power you can't beat $139 brand new. Mine sounds awesome with my Flowmasters. I get compliments all the time, especially my co-workers. They love to hear me pull up and leave. I was in traffic yesterday and a guy pulled up besides me and told me my car sounded real nice. He told me to horse it up a little bit . I happily obliged right under an overpass
I'm thinking about getting the Mac catback with it though...

 

[03 Black GT]

I'm gonna get a VRS o/r x-pipe w/ magnapacks catback, yall think that will sound good? i want loud

I'm gonna get a VRS o/r x-pipe w/ magnapacks catback, yall think that will sound good? i want loud

Yeah, anything O/R w/ the packs are going to be loud as hell. Packs are pretty damn loud even with the stock H so..

I've had my UPR catted X-pipe on for a few months so far, but looks good and sounds good so far. And it was by far the most reasonably priced catted-X around.
