copying header designs is no new practice either. anyone that has a pacesetter header owns a copied design header.
any questions?

so where are QTP's ACTUALLY assembled now...not packaged, assembled, welded, etc. As for pacesetters being a copy...a copy of what? If you actually look at pictures of them & compare them to any other companies header they look completely different...the only thing similar is that they are both shiney hehe
