I have seen pics,and read about happy customers ,but how much is or is there really much of a power difference between the top brands and the high end knock off's that cost half the price ???
With the knock offs material and build quality can vary dramatically. In general they tend to have thinner flanges and sloppier welds which can lead to exhaust leaks. If you have a problem you are not going to have any customer support or a warranty to fall back on. In terms of performance, the knock offs usually lack features like merge spikes that help brands like Kooks outperform others. Not to mention when you buy those products you are encouraging the continued theft of American intellectual property and jobs.
