Sometimes it can be hard to accept that even these big and supposedly trustworthy companies run into quality and performance issues. When that happens they are pretty much begging the market to take alternative measures in modification.

One quick example are Borla's headers for N/A 2.5l Subaru's, large numbers of their earlier products had terrible weld quality. Soon after Borla replicas made it on to the scene, but without welds that broke. Now, even though Borla claimed to have fixed the issue; people didnt want to bother with the brand that caused a hassle for brand name buying consumers, thus people had been steered in the replica direction.
