Do a lot of the parts from the different companies look the same to anyone else?

The exhaust looks like the Veilside exhaust (the tips do at least)

The headers look like Veilside's, which look like the Top Secret's

Just a little weird the similarities.

tips are tips, how much range do you want? and headers... there is a general design that is best for the enging, its the minor things that give one a slight edge, things you couldnt ever see in a picture.

thats why I buy nothing till I see dynos. preferably from independent people on their own cars. that way I really know whos the real deal, and whos blowing smoke.

About $500 if the dollar doesn't devalue any more. I would like to get a group buy on this if we can...

Thats not too bad. I bought a Addco RSB for my maxima for ~130, which is cheap. But this one looks a lot nicer.

Everyone I know refers to them as sway bars as do many of the companies that produce them.

Thats a pretty good deal. I look forward to seeing how they actually perform. From my experience, they should make the car feel much more neutral.

What will be interesting is if these bars (whatever you want to call them) will help the understeer that everybody mentions. Aren't stiffer rear bars (or less stiffness in the front end) supposed to help the plowing?

Thats because extra performance is pretty much derived in the same configuration, especially with headers. Also, Mine's, Top Secret and Veilside are all aiming for the same "type' of performance buyer, so they try to go for the same "look"
