Default Jg\edelbrock intake manifold blanks!

Im thinking about having a cast of the Jg\edelbrock manifold (b16\Type R) made with out any logo...these could sell for 300 shipped or if theres enough interest a sweet groupbuy can be put together! Just wondering about the interest in such an item? Reply here or my company email wholesaleperformance@adelphia.net

$300 for a knock-off? Besides, is that even legal?

There would be exterior differences of course but internally equal which is what matters...Jg sell for 350 not shipped, were not talking taiwanese knockoffs...US made equivalents; like I said a group buy would be put together for substantial discounts! Possibly 250 shipped if enough were interested!

It is an attempt at a clone of another manufacturers item. One that may even be patented. So yeah, its a knock-off. Personally I would just pay another $100 for the real thing. Why let the knock-offs benefit from JGs R&D?

"prepair to get sued jackass"

Welcome to 2003...what do you call Replica vision mirrors for $80, Rota (spoon copies) ,generic drugs which are the name brand equivalent to the tee, ect... its called competition and is what drives bigger companies to produce better products!

this isn't competition, and yes you can get sued for it. What you are proposing is outright theft.

Well guys thanks for the legal expertise but this was just a poll to gauge interest for a third party whom had interest in doing so and not actually my company as I said for lack of explanation! Seems to me your a few classes short of a degree so keep studying! Pretty funny spoonman puts his two sense in when he'd like to buy a carbon fiber spoon seat replica which isnt even certified for the track! LOL....okay im done, have fun!

Funny thing is....a lot of "copy cat" companies are being pressured by the big guys to have SEMA put a squeeze on the companies that sell imported knock-offs. Like that Professional Products booth at the SEMA show.

I don't think there is anything people can do about it unless there is a patent violation. Although, looking at those imported knock-offs, the quality was so poor, the threaded holes looked more like a large bore with only a twisting scratch down the hole for a thread. LOL

They claimed more power over the Holley and Edelbrock product, and showed graphs that "proved" it....but looking at the manifolds, I doubt they would.

Personally....I only buy product from companies that do their own R&D.

And I think for an imported knock-off, the price would have to be $200 for a manifold, or no one would buy it. People were buying the Edelbrock Victor X manifolds for $275 in the group buy.
