Ebay XS-Power/SSautochrome = 178 shipped to your door with y-pipes and a RFL rip-off bov. Can't beat it. Unless you want to spend more money on what's essentially the same thing in a txs or aps. Every company gets their cores from the same place and welds their own personal tanks on it. It's a hunk of aluminum. So what if the fitment isn't the easiest, or it's not "plug 'n play." Take the money you save and buy other stuff. Simple as that.

Considering the real TXS bov's leak I wouldn't trust the knock off TXS BOV.

Yeah.. I'm not going to say that their bov is any good.. it's loud, that's about it. But hey, you can sell it on Nasioc for 10-20 bucks...people will buy anything. Eh.. whatever. I still gotta figure out how much a gfb stealth fx goes for.

EDIT..b/c i have one I might sell...

true, I have the GFB hybrid 50/50 and I love it. I like it better than my old HKS SSQV
