JUBU and other topics, a combo thread

And we all know who the Karen is….

I think criticism is fair but from what I’ve seen it’s not fair for some vendors. And that’s not bc I own JUBU parts.

There are clearly members on here who they only come out to jab vendors and repeat things that have already been discussed on other threads. Then the perception is OMG everything JUBU does with every customer is catastrophic. When the same story is repeated in difference forums it’s not new, it’s recycled bs.

Yes their products are expensive. (If it’s too deep for you look elsewhere) I think this is everyone’s problem. So if and when there is a micro fracture problem with JUBU it gets exaggerated.

For example JB4 Posted over 100 whp…and not a single person is close. I knew when I saw it, it was marketing but guess what everyone lost their minds and bought it. Then when it came to seeing their results, they all justify not being upset bc of the cost….Want to judge something fair…judge at face value not of your pockets or money it cost you. Everyone is different and clearly we have many differences on here.

I did the JUBU 460 (which is crank hp) and guess what I got all of what I paid for and more.

Yes we have seen issues with “first” in US and now this 600 CS. But I guarantee you they fix the issue (which according to them they have and already shipped the engine back) and it won’t be repeated for those customers who choose to go with that package, typically. Anything can happen with upgrades!

I might be the first one going with the 530 for example (if no one else does it before me) so yes it’s concerning but I know I am backed by people who care and will make it right. Yes they don’t have the patience for rude people. They are not American and they don’t bend over backyards when people talk to them disrespectfully or try to poke or claim things that are false. If you been in customer service you understand it’s not always the vendor or company at fault, sometimes it’s the person they deal with. Aka a Karen…

I hope everyone has a great experience with whoever they choose to do business with. More than happy to share my experience and others do the same. These cars or upgrades aren’t a 1 size fits all. Pick yours and try to enjoy.

Have you had a chance to dyno the car since the 460 upgrade?

No one on here is saying "Don't buy Jubu when you can jb4". I'm glad it has worked out for you. I hope it works out well for others. But I would not want to be going in blind. So, I think being as clear as possible about experiences and results are the best way to clear the path for those who might follow.
(others have mentioned not coming forward to avoid legal challenges by Jubu. Believe that or not)

That said, you are also using selective data.

There you go. There's a matched result. 440-450 HP is the 100hp result you claim no one else has gotten.

I don't think it's meaningful to the discussion. Which is not about "who" is better. But rather "what is the experience and results" so that people can make their own value judgements.

In the end, some people will buy a thing because of the name attached. Jubu perhaps feels like a name with that recognition.

How is that a matched result showing 100hp gain unless you show the result with the same car on the same dyno before the mod?
Can you show the dyno of that car pre-mod?

My totally stock car showed 380rwhp on a dynojet dyno.
If I do the JB4 and it shows 480rwhp + then that’s a verified result (although of course the usual pedants will say it needs to be same day etc).

I’m not against any vendors. I plan to buy from JUBU, Aerie, and GRP in the next few weeks, and possibly JB4 once my warranty expires.

The observations made by hellasf1 above are spot on IMO.
