super cheap DFIC...?

So upon what seems to be a very successful Google search, I found this

http://www.protuninglab.com/mico16li...id=18283950120

Anybody familiar with the company or product? Or should I take one for the team?

looks like the ones ive seen on ebay for same price; M7 made these for a while i think. dont think many people "liked" them. dont think they outperformed the OEM one by enough to make it worth while; but thats just what i remember.

they did not out-perform all the time, but it was still a good system if you wanted to put the outlet scoop and everything else in.

that being said,the core blank to make one of these is in the 150-160 range just to buy it! then you have the end tanks and welding. Something tells me this one sacrifices core quality for price, which is not exactly what you want when trying to "upgrade"

just my .02...
