This is such a common problem with the mentality in America right now. Yes you can get a better looking piece from SS-Autochrome. Yes it is the same core they use on their 240sx/civic/hummer/suburban/mini/pugeot kit (exaggerating of course). Yes their supplier in chinalaysiapan has produced a decent quality piece with a show finish in quantities which I am sure exceed 100,000 units. What you are getting here is a custom piece that is not designed for any other car but ours. The end tanks/core have been extended from the original eBay core so that they better align with our radiator supports to help ease install. Most other vendors charge $300+ just for the piping alone and that doesn't necessarily include a j-pipe or a throttle body elbow. This is currently $459 for the entire kit including shipping. If something isn't right with my kit when I get it from Punishment, then I have a phone number and a friendly english speaking voice on the other end of the line, not somebody with broken english that can hardly understand what I am saying if I can get a phone number at all.

With that in mind you are getting a fully functional kit with customer support from a reputed supporting vendor, I'd say that this is a steal of a deal. Some other vendors charge over $100 dollars for picture perfect end tanks...I suppose Punishment could make that an option as well.
