Default saikou michi. is this guy for real?

So I've been doing my homework because I want a catch can for my new setup and I come across some threads about the saukou michi 951occ. I'm all over it so I email the guy expressing my interest and tell him I want it this week if at all possible. I swear he reponds before I get up to leave my computer. He's like "no problem", and gives me a flat rate $12 express shipping charge.. total comes out to $107 delivered this week! No doubt I send him the money and I tell him he's going to break my heart if this is some kind of scam. The strangest thing about it is I think this saikou michi co is from Japan..?? Thats all good and everything but Japan is 13 hours ahead of us (1a.m.) so this guy is either a hard core business man or...? One thing I know is the guy deserves the exposure.

If you searched here you saw that several members have his product and it looks pretty damn nice.... so it sure seems he's the real deal.

I'm not really worried about anything, It's more of an impressed, rhetorical "is this guy for real". Plus thought if anyone else was in the market.. def want to check this out.

I have one in my car. He is actually based in AZ. I am going to be selling mine.. The reason why is because with a slightly different set up. it only has around 1,000mi max on it.

First class welds, nice product. There was a nice thread on installations with pics a couple of months ago. He is a really nice person to work with.

ctually that's the best designed catch-can I have seen anyone put on a 944.
Its closed-circuit, which makes it correct.

thats aribops custom installation, he doesn't have a washer tank - if you have the stock airbox, you'll have to be creative with your placement
