Message	I think people need to be aware that these, as well as many of the cheap suspension arms, downpipes/testpipes, etc on ebay, are copies of existing products developed by other companies, and mass manufactured in China or Taiwan. While many of these items can be decent quality and good value, they are in violation of copyright laws. The reason why they persist is the small companies that developed the original products do not have the resources to pursue legal action. By supporting these copy products, you are eliminating the incentive for any manufacturer/tuner to develop new products. I *know* I won't be pursuing many of my product ideas because of this, I *know* many other manufacturers/tuners that feel the same way. You will see alot less new products in the future, and I think it is sad that people think getting low-priced products this way is a good thing.
