im glad matt is posting again.

my take on it is, greddy was already having financial problems, brought on by whatever, and knockoffs cutting into their profits. so, they have a half baked idea, and bring out the m-spec intercoolers.
good and bad, sure, more people will buy them, and people that would have bought a knockoff might spend the extra 50$ for the greddy name.
but, in my opinion, it cheapens the entire name.
why spend the 50$ more for a greddy when you get some boop shit thats the same for 50$ less? also, why buy a 800$ r-spl,. when you can buy an mspec for over half, and still impress faggots in parking lots?

notice, hks, arc, and some other high end companies are still going?
its because they cater to a different crowd.
sure, greddy isnt totally shitty, but for the price of their stuff new, id buy something else. only reason any greddy part is on my car is because i bought used and cheap.
