Valvetronic Designs wants you happy - let’s work together to get any issues resolved!  Please note these key points before proceeding with any claim:

 

• Start at the original place of purchase. 100% of claims start with the original place of purchase, and all refunds, if granted, are through the original place of purchase. Call them first.
• If you remove, we can not approve. If a product issue is discovered after installation, do not remove the product before receiving confirmation of a return approval from the original place of purchase. On-car information can often lead to diagnosis and action plans; Valvetronic Designs requires a chance to address in this manner. Post-install products removed prior to return authorization will be denied any warranty claim.
• All warranties are for the original owner only. Second owners can purchase replacement components if needed.
• If you are a dealer or bought through VALVETRONIC DESIGNS directly, fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

• Orders or parts of orders canceled more than 48 hours after placement will be assessed a 20% raw-materials allocation fee. This applies to all exhaust systems. If a special operations exhaust is ordered and it is not in stock, please allow for 8 to 12 weeks for it to be manufactured for you. 
• An order can not be canceled once it has shipped.
