while you make a very valid point, but there are just some parts that dont make sense to purchase from vendors who are charging to much for it
in my case, i was looking for a FMIC kit for my GST eclipse and i could have bought a blitz kit for 1k brand new, or i could have bought an ebay kit for $300 brand new and it is essentially the same product but for a fraction of the cost

imo, its all about being a smart consumer and researching products before buying them, and knowing what you are getting into when you are taking the cheaper route
but again thats just my



@OP
if you want cheap heads, buy these
AMS 370Z STAINLESS STEEL HEADERS - Intake / Exhaust - 370Z / G37

they are on sale right now and they are priced the same as OBX heads
It may look the same at first glance on the outside, but unless you thoroughly examine both parts, you can't make that determination.

Here's an example of an eBay core vs. a more reputable company.

eBay


name brand


That's not to say that the eBay one is ineffective at doing it's job. For $300, it's a great deal over not having an intercooler at all, but it's not fair to say they are the same.
