Cobb stock location FMIC

[DetTigers]

Cobb’s FMIC behind the grille is made in China. So it wouldn’t surprise me if their stock location IC is made their too. One of the reasons I didn’t go with Cobb.

Even harder to justify the price difference of the Cobb and CVF then..

For street use, they all seem like very similar performance. You would be hard pressed except on the dyno to see literally a couple of HP difference between nearly all of these factory mount IC’s. Just more important to make sure it’s of good build quality and reviews to show that. Who wants a 500 buck part putting your 70k truck out of commission while you have to replace the failed IC. CVF, Injen, mishimoto all seem well built and a couple of them offer attractive pricing. I’d certainly buy a good USA made brand if they weren’t 2x the price for basically the same performance and possibly better build quality. A 100.00 more or so? Most likely yes.

I base my statements on personal experience. I've inspected with my own eyeballs the CVF IC and while it appears to be fully functional without functional flaws, it is not made to the same skill and quality standards as at least two that you mentioned, Cobb and Mishimoto. I have zero experience with Wagner, so I can't make a valid comment.

The point is that facts are facts and stating them as such doesn't do a disservice to anyone. They are FACTS. You can twist the words around until you feel better about them, but nothing can change the facts as they are currently, OTHER than a change to the CVF processes.

If it "works" and people buy it, then it is a valid product. I've never said anything about functionality, just the skill and workmanship applied. It is looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, then it is pretty damn likely to be a duck.

Greatly said
