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.

I wasn't really going to go into this, but since it came up:
Professional Products has never had a solid rep from what I've seen. When I first heard the name they were big into ripping off Edelbrock's manifolds and selling them at a lower price (since they don't have R+D costs to cover). They sell cheap imported knock offs that people buy because of price point. You hear tons of stories about bad imported products but they still sell very well.
SJ, I hope you get your money back. This is a ****** raw deal and I hate reading about it. Don't hesitate to go to the state attorney general about it. I've had to do that before and it helped my cause. Going to be a tough fight getting money from an already slimy company.
