Counterfeit Parts, be an informed buyer.

One thing this article doesn't touch on that it should, is when domestic companies use chinese manufacturers for their parts and just slap their name on the finished products. Ironically that Aeromotive regulator is made in china and sold under several different brands. Same with many of the aftermarket in tank fuel pumps sold today. Holley, FAST, Aeromotive, AEM, all use the same pump with their name on it and its originally a copy of a Walbro pump. Then you have places like On3 selling turbos made in china using the same internals as Turbonetics (rumored). Or Precision selling turbos supposedly made here in America that have a very high failure rate with zero customer support.

Once these manufacturers start producing parts here again and stop slapping their name on whatever chinese part they can find and upping the price because of the name, I will start caring that they are losing money and business from it. You can't manufacture (or relabel) parts from another country and not expect those same parts to find their way on to the market under a different name.
