Such as
http://www.advancedautomotives.com/r...eza-1741-p.asp
Are these RCM quality? Do RCM allow other to manufacture their designs?
Confused.
Or are they just selling on actual RCM stuff?

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.

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

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.
