they are ALL the same....none will give you better performance than any other. The only difference is looks. The $20 e-bay FSTB is the same performance as the $200 cattman FSTB.

Yea they are all the same - some look a little different and some cost alot more.
I got mine from Redline Maxima just so that i new it would fit and all.
I got it shipped for $25 to my house so overall i am very happy with it.
They are both ok i would say but maybe you want to go with the Redline Maxima one like i did... Your choice

i'm sorry if u feel the need to flame me its just i dont do the reading on these things and when it comes to everything else, you get what you pay for. I just wanted to see if it was the same for these. I guess not.

That's probably why people are giving ya a hard time... if ya had done some homework, i.e. if ya had gone back and read through several pages or did a search, you'd have found the same answer w/o the grief... but that's just my 2 cents here...

I purchased my FSTB from ProCarParts.com for about $70, I have had it installed for about two years and have not had any problems. The installation was easy and had no clearance problems at all. Here is the link:ProCarParts
Here is a pic of the FSTB:

I have the 2nd one, and don't fret about people's replies... that's why it's a forum. You gotta read through all of it to get a half decent answer about what you were wanting to know.
