I'd be weary of the fact that none of them appear to note the manfufacturer of the product.

yeah the problem is, is my field of work alot of 'anonymous' manufactures are the same as bigname manufactures because its the actual factory that sells non-brandname parts. Like for example, HKS does not manufacture spark plugs, NGK actually makes them but have them branded with HKS on them... well alot of times the factory that makes NGK plugs will sell unmarked NGK plugs as 'aftermarket' but its the same damn plugs...

I would not have an issue with the pulleys--I mean what can go wrong with them--same with the test pipes. I would be weary of the camshafts (because this is an internal engine part and if it is slightly off, it could mess up something important (like an engine). One item did not show a pic anymore so I can't say. If it is simply a metal throttle body spacer--again what can go wrong (It doesn't take a lot of know how to reproduce one and even if it is a knock off--what can go wrong with it? The only thing is that Z owners on these sites will knock you for not having HKS this and Greddy that, yada yada yada! The exhausts may have issues with fitment and quality, but they may also be cheap enough to justify the extra it may take to install them!
