They say copying is the best form of flattery...(too bad it doesnt pay the bills)

For me and I want to believe the educated consumer we have choices.
I buy parts based on quality, results, ease of use, customer service and price.
I have been a PN customer from day 1. PN has built a reputation of quality,support,results and customer service.(this is what pays the bills) I have bought parts from other companies and had issues with quality and or customer service.

What I see here is reverse engineering. Is it ethical? I will tell you what will happen if we support companies who do it....The originator will lose money
and will not be able to develop new products so in the end we suffer as racers....

We have the same problem in my industry. We call the copies "pirate parts"
