Read the 2 reviews in the ad. Dealership seems to be super shady, one guy busted them putting pictures of 2 different vehicles in one car's gallery. Wonder if he was talking about this G?

They are the exact same, no doubt about it

No...

but what are you getting at? If it's an oil leak into the spark plug well, those little gaskets are not available from the dealer or a parts house... the only way you get them is by buying a new set of valve covers (or, there actually is a vendor on here that can get them)

I am going to buy a MD 5/16th spacer but I'm not sure whether I should I get the basic plenum spacer or get the iso thermal spacer (not the copper one). I live in a fairly temperate city...Sacto doesn't get freakishly cold but occasionally dips into the high 20's at night. SO my question would be would i be ok with the basic spacer and not worry about the TB freezing or get the iso thermal?

Now i would agree with this about say 80-95%. You get more pricy items because everyone thats its bought thru gets their upsell price and in some cases offers you a warranty.

Some go and gets their name plate/logo/icon on the product. But i think when the welds breaks and causes a rattle on either one of those pipes. You MIGHT have better luck getting a replacement thru topspeed VS random ebay person. Some of the more popular/better name guys who would carry a similiar product might cost a little more they normally offer a LITTLE better service. Mainly HID and Megan racing items. They items are stolen from one of the bigger guy and replicated.
