| just because this thread is calling BS on the manifolds doesn't mean we wouldn't say the same regarding those other products. Mike Smith put R&D (time & money) on the line to make a performance product for the ever dwindling Z32 market. AMS copied it right out of the gate. It took Mike Smith more money to develop the product (R&D again) than it took AMS to send them to China and get copied. Think about it. AMS didn't do any innovating. They copied something and sold it cheaper. While it may be easier on your wallet initially, it hurts all of us because REAL INNOVATORS may choose not to make products in fear of losing R&D investments. Again, its greed. The lowest cost is not always best for the consumer. You've got to look at the big picture. If you don't understand it yet, there is no hope for you.
