In terms of knockoffs, plm is better than most.

The PLM RMFnarrow replica is not a bad piece for the price. It did work on the dyno on my buddies build and he had no issues with it, so it gets my thumbs up for approval. For $275 shipped and the power it adds, it's about to adorn my little side project CRX.

Are you saying this because you have personal experience or your just trying to get your post count up?

I have the PLM hytech rep on my GSR swap and I think it is awesome for the price. Quality is good and fitment was spot on!!! I couldn't justify spending a arm and a leg when I planned on going boost soon. I am happy with PLM and can't think of a single complaint. I do agree with the not buying knock offs and getting what you pay for but I would buy PLM again if I ever have another NA build!!!

Engine vibrations. He's saying that his motor was shaking around due to faulty worn out mounts, I guess

I've had several PLM headers with out any problems. I've never wanted to spend much on headers so I have tried a lot of "cheap" or "knock off" headers. All the PLM headers I have used always been spot on.

Engine vibration is the same regardless of what mount are used. The only difference between stock mounts and solid mounts like Hasport which I have on my gsr-eg swap is the vibrations are transferred through the chassis and the stock mounts isolate the vibrations. I could see how faulty mounts could cause problems, also not having a flex pipe that allows movement between the header and the rest of the the exhaust system.
