BigCheeseStick Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If your looking for manifolds, or carb. boots look someplace other than UPP!!! I ordered these two products 2 weeks ago, and when they finally came in... All I can say is. HUGE DISAPOINTMENT!!! The manifolds are not molded squarely to the metal backup plate inside. The Urethane they use is aparently mixed by a kindergartener because its full of air bubbles all over the place. The molds arent smooth, so the finish of the product is best described as "blotchy". The thickness of the Urethan used on both the manifolds AND the boots is much thinner / cheaper than factory rubber parts, so the factory clamps wont even work. For $130 (shipped) you have GOT to be kidding me!!! If you try to call them you will get a message telling you they will be out for the holiday weekend over a month ago. They dont answer the phone for a good reason. Product BITES! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE SCAM ARTISTS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Sorry to herar about your bad experience with UPP products. I personaly never have dealt with them mainly because I think three prices are high. However I do understand trying to buy a better boot than the stockers. ON e-bay about 2 weeks ago I notice d a company named Boss that uses a one pc billet intake flange, looks the same as the Pro dsign version but uses no boost bottle. I guess there is actually an internal passage that acts as the equilibrium. The price is only $100.00. Look them up, I am pretty impressed.

race-a-holic Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Not sure what happened,but the UPP intakes I got a while back were fine. That's alot of money to spend to just get junk.UPP should at least give you your money back. I do prefer the vito intakes I bought from F.A.S.T. though.Great intakes.

korndawg Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I've never had any problems with stuff from UPP. I've got a pair of their chain rollers, and I've ordered some of the little cushions that go under the seat, and it was all really good stuff. Call them up, and they should take care of it for you.

knight_ripper Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 come on....not all UPP is crap. maybe the manifolds....but thier chain kit is the shit. I replaced my stockies with UPP 5 yrs ago...and I am just now considering replacing the rollers. the upper and lower slides are still imaculant. plus they come in all colors. lol. upp rules IMO. just stay away from the manifolds sounds like....EL Oh EL.
