Lol....well of course! I know a lot of people try to save a few bucks but there is always a reason why quality USA made performance parts cost more....and its usually because they are of a much higher quality in a lot of areas! OEM has a high degree of standards but where it comes to aftermarket performance, I wish everybody would simply boycott Chinese crap before that's all you can get. Support USA Made performance!

I couldn't agree more! I have always felt that if your not willing to pay a couple extra dollars for something made in the USA by American workers then your not a real American.

I try to buy quality parts regardless of where they are made. made in usa does not always mean its made by an American worker and if you've spent as much time babysitting the current workforce as I have it doesn't always mean its a quality part.
if you find a small company that actually watches its employee's you can still get a quality usa made part but most of the factory built stuff isn't much better than the current shipload of Chinese parts coming in

I agree but I'm mainly referring to USA made performance parts.....I don't think I've ever seen Hung-Chi-Lee testing speed parts on the salt flats.....I do base some decisions on a companies track record and history.....that is more important to me than buying from the lowest manufacturing bidder.
