While the welding is nice, it's not cool to make direct copies of someone else's hard work and money spent in development....especially in such a tiny market.

Not sure of that - angles sure look quite different to me... not sure that actually matters too much if it fits properly in the crankshaft vent hole, but other internal geometries are more important - the vent hole looks rather different too.

And their ad to sell these baffles is really a "reach" in terms of honesty: When they say that hundreds have been sold in the US, that projects the illusion that the one they are selling is the same product....which it is not.
Uncool on a whole new level of uncool.

More importantly, the copy misses one of the very important modifications we had to make during testing....which they obviously have not done.

If you are going to directly copy something....the least you should do is buy an original, so you can get all the details that make it work correct!

Wow. Just my .02 but this is blatant copying. Not sure what the RL bylaws are but I'd be surprised if they allow members to advertise products for sale that are near forgeries of long time paying vendors. I agree with Greg, uncool on every level. I have a GB original of one of these in my cars so you can count me among those who want to tout the GB products I have installed, especially when it comes time for one of my heirs to sell it. The more copies that float around of stuff our trusted vendors make the more it will create confusion for future collectors looking for the real deal.

It was bad enough on his first thread trying to underhandedly try and sell some parts by saying what he did, then deny he was going to sell any. But now to have one of his buddies post another thread, Roger showing the dudes UK Ebay link and a copy paste of Gregs advertisement. That's some real low brow copy stuff. Next we will find out some Shanghai lady boi popped these out for $15.00

Agree with others regarding your (potdog) lack of ethics, sales practices, and unfair/wrong done to Greg. Sorry, that's how I see it.

I bought a GB one (Thanks GB) and I can see what the differences are and I'm no engineer or welder for that matter. Well Potdog (you got the dog bit right) I think you have sh$t in your own nest.
