RCM "designed" headers/up pipe, what's the deal with these?
 

Such as

http://www.advancedautomotives.com/r...eza-1741-p.asp

Are these RCM quality? Do RCM allow other to manufacture their designs?

Confused. :confused:

Or are they just selling on actual RCM stuff?

Advanced do sell other genuine RCM components, so these headers are probably genuine too.
Best way is to call them and ask :thumb:

Comes from the same Taiwan factory as all the other manifolds!!!

Advanced stock RCM parts

I've bought plenty of RCM parts from Advanced, they sell them cheaper on the whole than RCM do.

Speak to Cath, she's very helpful and they also give good advice if you need it as well. :thumb:

+1 Great people at great prices.

and the many other makes that use this style manifold, but with different price tags lol

Thanks guys, my poor wallet is taking a right pounding this month. :wonder::norty:

That's what it's for, stop whinging and spend spend spend :lol1:

:D

Nothing to do with me :D

Yup. :D

Advanced also offer great discounts for members of the club they sponsor ,, see advanced website for details :thumb:

Bought mine from here http://www.kakumei-motorsports.com/p...STI+(HAWK-EYED

Kind of disappointing seeing this as I've paid for many items from RCM direct which are clearly much more expensive than the above website

Quite unbelievable really when you think RCM direct charge the best part of £200 more for the exact same part......

I bought my second set from here
http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...en=&searchKey=

not as cheap as others(didn't know about them) but cheaper than RCM direct

I spoke to Cath regarding these and yep, they are the exact same manifolds that RCM sell.

How can other companies sell RCM products far far cheaper than RCM themselves ???
Everybody knows that RCM are overpriced but this is rediculous surely.

Agreed.

I'm not normally one to penny pinch, but when it comes to a larger difference...

Serious case of paying for the name exists here I think.

I'm sure they were £409 in the link I posted. Now thy seem to be £449?

Surely I misread it first time around, they wouldn't have increased the price because of this thread surely. :confused:

They were £409.
When I spoke to Cath she said they were on special offer. Obviously that offer has now ended buddy.
