Terms and Conditions / Warranty

Fabspeed Motorsport’s Lifetime Warranty

What we cover

Fabspeed Motorsport warrants to the Original Retail Purchaser that our manufactured Fabspeed Motorsport brand products are free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product if the product is purchased through an authorized Fabspeed Motorsport reseller or directly from Fabspeed Motorsport.

For any Fabspeed Motorsport manufactured products with defects in materials or workmanship, we will repair or replace, at Fabspeed Motorsport Motorsport’s discretion, the product at no cost to you for as long as you own and use it in the intended fashion. Fabspeed Motorsport is the final authority on determining eligibility of all warranty claims. Fabspeed Motorsport reserves the right to improve, modify, change parts and the design of our systems/components as we regularly engineer and improve our systems to continue to further enhance performance.

There are a few important exceptions to be aware of

We cannot warranty any product that was damaged intentionally or unintentionally. This includes unintentional damage caused from a vehicular accident, off-Racetrack errors or mishap, or intentional damage caused by attempting to force fit our product to the vehicle, or misuse. Catalytic converters damaged by engine oil leaks, coolant, blown turbochargers, misfires or usage of leaded race gasoline are not covered.
We cannot warranty any product that was not used for the intended purpose. Any non-Fabspeed Motorsport modifications to a system will void the warranty. Backfires, and explosions from poorly tuned engines are not covered.
Products with an applied coating or provide a thermal barrier have a mixed warranty. This exception applies to certain exhaust tips, other coated products, and thermal blankets. We warrant the coating for aesthetic defects and imperfections, for one year from the product purchase date. After one year, Fabspeed Motorsport will continue to cover structural defects with the product itself, but the coating and finish is no longer warranted or guaranteed. Fabspeed Motorsport can recoat parts at reasonable cost, so please inquire. Thermal barriers/header blankets are covered for a period of one year from the shipping date for manufacturing defects.
Catalytic Converters are normal wear items and have a limited useful life. HJS Germany warrants their catalytic converters for 2 years. Fabspeed Motorsport goes a lot further to protect Fabspeed Motorsport equipped car enthusiasts. For the Original Retail Purchaser only, we will replace a verifiable, failed, "current generation" catalytic converter, one time, at no charge, as long as, any serial number and other production markings are unaltered, readable, and there is no physical damage to the converter. Catalyst that are broken apart and/or melted internally will not be considered for warranty. If the catalytic converter is NO LONGER available, obsolete, or over 5 years old, the catalytic converter will need to be replaced and a charge for new catalytic converters will be incurred. Fabspeed Motorsport will provide assistance to replace and upgrade your component(s) to current state of the art technology at a reasonable cost. Please note that any and all catalytic converters will fail prematurely if they are exposed to overly rich fuel mixtures and exhaust, causing fuel to burn in the converter itself. Failure will occur using leaded fuel, race fuel, E85 methanol, Meth injection, or fuel additives in a Fabspeed Motorsport product that contains a catalytic converter. Catalytic converters will also fail from antifreeze or engine oil entering the exhaust system due to an engine malfunction and/or wear. These kinds of failures will not be covered under warranty. Fabspeed Motorsport can determine the cause of failure and will advise our customers accordingly. If any of these problems occur, a brand-new state of the art HJS German catalytic converter can be purchased and welded into your Fabspeed Motorsport system.
Fabspeed Motorsport reserves the right to make continual improvements to our product line with technology and advancements in components gained through over 25+ years of street and professional motorsport development. Certain parts and components from time to time become unavailable or obsolete due to research and development and component changes. In this case we reserve the right to advise our worldwide clientele of changes and costs associated to upgrade systems and provide warranty coverage.
Shipping damage must be reported within 5 days of receipt of the product. Should damage be found notify Fabspeed immediately, and do not install product(s). Installed products are not eligible for return.
Tuning products and software are not covered by this warranty- Please see our separate Tuning warranty.
Fabspeed is not responsible for any package once delivery receipt is completed by shipper.
Other great brands sold by Fabspeed Motorsport that are not manufactured by Fabspeed Motorsport will carry the respective manufacturer’s warranty as applicable.
The Fabspeed Motorsport Lifetime Warranty has limitations. As such, OUR WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF TIME OR REVENUES, INSTALLATION OR DE-INSTALLATION COSTS, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE, SHIPPING CHARGES, FEES OR FINES, DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR ITS COMPONENTS OR SURROUNDINGS, OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGE. OUR LIABILITY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT YOU RECEIVED.

Tuning Warranty/Returns

VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND EMISSIONS DISCLAIMER

Some items sold and/or installed by Fabspeed Motorsport Tuning may potentially void portions of your vehicle’s factory warranty. Some items may not be legal for “street and highway driven vehicles”. Fabspeed Motorsport Tuning makes no guarantees to the legality of any parts used for “street and highway driven vehicles” and accepts no responsibility for compliance with the vehicle’s factory warranty. Due to the nature of the tuning process as well as the rapid evolution of electronics and programming, all tuning sales (Xpertune or Bench flash) are considered final one calendar year from the invoice date even if the tune file is not requested. While we will make every effort to offer support for tuning after this time frame, we, unfortunately, cannot guarantee a completed tune.

Purchase Disclaimer: Fabspeed Motorsport does not condone the use of emission defeat devices for any vehicles used on public streets or roadways. Fabspeed Motorsport will not tamper, remove, disable, or bypass emissions equipment on a motor vehicle in accordance with 40 CFR Section 86.1854.12(a)(3), Clean Air Act 40 CFR 1068.101(b). This includes software, known as “tunes”, that reprogram a motor vehicle’s electronic control module to alter engine performance and enable the removal of filters, catalyst, and other critical emissions controls.

REMOTE TUNING

When using the remote tuning device (HHT), there are times when the Engine Control Unit (ECU) ID file that allows Fabspeed to create the necessary stock and tune files is not in our tuning database. Unfortunately, to tune the car will require the cars ECU to be sent to Fabspeed to retrieve the necessary information to create the stock and tune files. This can not be completed remotely. The ECU needs to be hardwired, via special equipment, to the Fabspeed tuning computer, to access this information. Once the ECU ID file is copied, Fabspeed is able to compile both the stock and tune file that can be uploaded to the HHT. Fabspeed does understand the inconvenience of sending the cars ECU to have the ID copied, unfortunately this is something beyond Fabspeed's control. Fabspeed will accept returns for the HHT in accordance with our return conditions.

BENCH TUNING/REMOTE TUNING - GENERAL

Advertised performance results may vary from a multitude of factors and may not be similar on other platforms or vehicles. All vehicles are maintained and perform differently. Fabspeed Motorsport cannot guarantee exact or similar results from one car to another because of that. Our Tuning systems are engineered to produce the safest and most power out of the engine as possible. Fabspeed Motorsport will not and cannot be held responsible for different cars representing numbers on different dynos, or at different times of the year. Atmospheric conditions can alter the results of any dyno session. The Fabspeed Motorsport Dyno Jet weather station is always used when engineering and validating our tuning data. Fabspeed Motorsport is not liable for tuning limitations due to faulty engine sensors or ignition components.

Tunes purchased are for the original purchaser of the tune and do not follow the vehicle when it changes owners. Please be advised, for all vehicles that are Fabspeed Motorsport tuned (writing directly to the ROM, or using the XperTune device), the tune can be overwritten or rewritten by Manufacturer/dealer equipment and high-end scan tools utilizing SAE J2534 programming. Fabspeed Motorsport is not liable for any post tuning modifications from these devices. Should this happen and original purchaser want a new tune file, it would be the customer’s responsibility to have the ECU removed and/or Handheld device shipped to Fabspeed Motorsport for retuning. A retuning fee will be applied.

Please be aware, when tuning, file corruptions can occur. Especially during any file transfer. A battery charger must be used while transferring files with the Fabspeed Motorsport Xpertune device.

Before submitting a ticket for a problem with a XperTune device, please review Fabspeed Motorsport’s Handheld tuner tutorial video https://youtu.be/wVJxHcXOhMk.

The My Genius Client program is necessary for the Fabspeed Motorsport XperTune file to be transferred and written to the cars Electronic Control Module (ECU) or Digital Motor Electronics (DME). This program does not work on the Apple platform. The My Genius Client is an executable (.EXE) program and needs a clear path to the internet. Fabspeed Motorsport does not provide IT services to disable firewalls and internet barriers.
A Fabspeed Motorsport Representative will determine if product needs to be returned to Fabspeed Motorsport for inspection. A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number will be given to be placed clearly on the shipping label.

It is the responsibility of the customer to pay for shipping back to Fabspeed Motorsport.
