They just are poor quality and you're just asking for a bad result.
Sure an intake wont "break" really but still
When i first rebuilt my SS, I needed a balancer so i decided to go aftermarket and get an SFI one. Professional Products one was like 150 vs. Fluidampnr at like 400.
Well the second day i had the car out i think, i heard a loud bang while coming off the highway and then screeching, pulled in a parking lot, pushed the clutch in and the motor stalled out. I popped the hood to see i had torn the hub of the balancer away from the outer ring. The rubber layer holding the 2 together was wasted. Luckily it has just shifted back scuffing up the front cover and still held 2 ribs of the belt still on. I got it towed home and when i ordered a new one, i went for the 400 dollar one this time. I called professional products and they seemed like they would help, but i just didnt have the patience for them and didnt bother since no real damage was done to anything else. i just learned to stay away from them.
and trust me i know what you mean by all the time spent on the car etc. having a car you love down for 6 months sucks. Mine was down for 21 months.... that sucked.
