Can you post the link where you see that? The best I'm seeing is a 188 OBO post, and they still want 50 bucks for shipping :(

Are you replacing because of the low speed fan resistor?

The MFE is rather flimsy and can easily crack when you bump into something, ie, fender bender.

I need to get one too, got the link for the eBay vendor?

Well good luck with that.

When it comes to gaskets, nothing out there beats OEM.....especially when there is a ton a labor time behind a repair such as a supercharger service or UCH work.

A friend went thru holy hell and back not once but twice using aftermarket head gaskets......not to mention all the crappy O-ring gaskets that come with aftermarket oil filters....( Mann is only aftermarket filter I would use )

If those are any indication of quality for those aftermarket parts in particular, I am sticking with OEM.....

Gaskets are all OEM coming from ECSTuning
