Looking at the warranty PDF on NAPA's cv axles, which might be a brand called "Automotive CV Axle" one section says "warranty void if boot is damaged in anyway." I guess that'd be up to NAPA's decision. Always did see great warranty stories on the Facebook groups so time will
Seems they have their own line now, not sure who actually makes them. I was last year I got Maxdrive ones.

Premium CV Axles - NAPA New Premium CV Axles

Ha yeah I've read those 10 warranty return stories, guess NAPA finally got sick of it. With those bucket sales they used to have have the whole axle was basically disposable, an OE boot kit cost about the same.

I believe they are TrakMotive, at least the extended ones I bought from them were. Same OEM PN that O'Reilly's carries, FWIW.

When I got them last time one was Cardone like I'm used to an one was Trakmotive which I took back to a different store for a Cardone. They had same napa part number but different part numbers on the original stickers. The Trakmotive wasnt exactly the same dimension as OE and less droop, didn't like it. The Trakmotive extended ones look good from what I see on 3rd gen forum. RockAuto is constantly out of stock of them though.

Edit: I remember now, I couldn't find another cardone at Napa, they said that was the last of the Maxdrives. Had to get the other one from Summit Racing. If you have the old number they are probable available somewhere.

Let's face it, Toyota parts packaging is boring and inexpensive - because it doesn't generally affect the quality of the parts contained therein. The OP asked about parts that perform as well or better than OEM, so before anybody can answer that question for a particular part, they need to have gotten more miles and better performance out of the aftermarket part under identical conditions.

The reason I bring this up is that many times you will see somebody say something like this: "My OEM (insert name of part) lasted 150,000 miles before failing. I bought (insert name of aftermarket part) for less than half the cost of OEM and have had them in for 500 miles. So far, they're awesome." Yea, I'd buy those parts in a heartbeat to use on the next mission to Mars based on that kind of testing.

Just be careful.
I can say unequivocally that the Raybestos Ceramic pads and their 300 series slotted rotors last better than OEM Toyota parts. We have 290K miles on the vehicle.

I can say the Rockford duraboots last longer than any other aftermarket CV axle boot. The aftermarket CV axles have been fine with the exception of the boots, thus my recommendation. I would just avoid any neoprene boot as they do not hold up.
