Anybody seen or heard of this seems like a pretty good deal at $171 and that includes bushings, Input?

it's a TWM knockoff, the only question is do you trust knockoffs?

I say: spend the extra and get the product with a good name backing it.

Ever had a $25 ebay shifter crack on you going way too fast on the highway?? Some scary s*** right there!

Like I said before, everything that goes on this car is a quality part made by a company I trust

sometimes you are paying for the name. i have had dozens of ebay "knockoffs" perform just as well as name brands, this includes SS, intercoolers, bov..etc. I'm not saying its not a good rule of thumb but you have to use your judgement depending on the part.

anyway, if you do not have experience with this SS than do not cluster up this thread.

Try having an Ebay intake rub a hole in your ac line while driving, then, while its spraying oil everwhere, your engine sucks it up!

I personally have never used any ebay products. I have also never used cobb or twm but I do know of them and the reputation. I just happened to come across this and figured maybe one of you guys knew something. Hey at least I searched first

people like you are why big name companies are having to go out of business

im not sure if greddy did file bankruptcy or not, but they were put in the position because everybody was buying the cheap ebay knockoffs and not the parts that they were making and spending hours dyno-ing, researching, and designing to back

so buy the real stuff and dont support cheap ebay s***

just playing devils advocate here but people like you make it next to impossible for the little guy to bring anything to the table.

thanks for staying on topic guys. reminds me a bit of honda-tech.

btw justan, im not "here" for the "big name" companies. im here for my car. just because i can get my resource else where and they cant be "here" for my needs isnt my problem. its a supply and demand market since it began.

I agree it was probably scary but I doubt this will snap considering the pictures of the before and after product on the site. I also understand companies lie. But I also have to agree with MTuning even though I have never used ebay or knockoff products I doubt there is always a difference between the two. Also not to defend knockoffs but have you ever recieved a product from a quality company come broken? I have and if I didnt notice it it would have cost me my motor. My point is this could have happened knockoff or not.
