new SICK header from Lovefab.com

imo, the problem is that most people are obsessing over having JDM parts. generally these people view anything that is designed or assembled in australia as being rat shit.

as far as a mention for australian parts overseas is concerned, how about motec, autronic, dms, whiteline and heaps of businesses... these companies produce parts that are sold overseas, and generally held in high regard.

JDM y0!!!

The obsession with JDM has sorta died down but there is still a craze out there for JDM. Just look at the U.S. Perfect example.

Fair points you made though.

As an example a guy working at the performance place up here owns the shop and has been in the business a long time. HE is exporting his exhaust systems to the US and makign ak illimg from it. Why? Cos his craftsmanship is unbelievably good and the yanks havent seen anything like this before? A breakthrough? Maybe, but somebody with common sense and some devotion to their work is all I gather from all this. Pointing the finger and generally assuming that Aussies wont put as much "R&D" time into their work is pure bullshit. Apples for apples mate, when put to it the Aussies can do as good, if not better job than anybody out there. Keep the local industry running I say!

i was comparing apples to apples, you are talking about one individual/company. If this aussie company/individual is so good at their work, how come most people over here have not heard of him / or company ??? I am one to support local industry, but when talking to many people from not only australia but over the world on a daily basis i have never heard of anything australian mentioned especially when talking about headers/exhausts that have bettered or even matched what has been developed overseas, i have in regard to other car parts though.

you did not read my entire post did you. I was referring to exhaust / headers, and stated near the end was the fact that their other companies / products in australia that are recognised overseas.

Yes there is too much emphasis on what comes from japan must be the best.
