OK. So maybe they're doing some design work on their own. Going to deny that it's all made in CHINA?
What's not made there? I'm from Vermont and I would always buy Vermont American taps and dies because they were made by people I knew. Guess what, now made in China.

There are plenty of quality parts out there made in the USA and Japan. Paying Mishimoto prices for made in China. Just crazy.

I have seen the same mishimoto catch cans on ebay for about $50. No branding, same everything.

they sure do spend a lot of money on cad design, engineering, development, testing, dyno,video production just to copy someone else.:rolleyes:
Sorry Mishimoto products have no bearing on actual performance. Quality is decent, but their design and development work is pathetic. See their intake for a prime example. Increases IATs and reduces power over stock, $400 for what is basically a sound pipe. All independent tests have shown this to be the case.

But hey, they have an engineering team and did research.

I had the mishimoto intake for the Si. It sounded fantastic, fit great, and was high quality. I did not take any data on its performance but I really liked it.

Everyone modifies their cars for certain reasons and goals. Labeling a person without knowing anything about them is likely more ignorant than installing an aftermarket part without knowing the implications.

Would you call an intake a performance part?

I didn’t label you and I’m not trying to be an ass. You installed their product and weren’t able to determine whether or not their product worked and only commented how it looked

Mishimoto FMIC was better compared to first gen PRL FMIC. Now that PRL came with a newer version of FMIC I think its better than mishimoto now.
