There you guys have it. These are NOT OFH.

Case solved. These are knock-offs and are not made by the same people.

toby714 · 06-04-2014, 09:08 PM

did some further research, those guys from autohanh are dealers for rota, and stivo is the sister company of rota. could possibly be stivo concept header.

Pretty confused by this. These are the exact same headers. All of the welds are identical

given the pic in the first post is from Stivo's facebook/instragram, you can be quite confident they're the manufacturer: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

It's the same header from the same source. Someone at this other company probably knows someone who is maybe a distributor elsewhere and is shipping them to the US? This stuff happens all the time with the stuff made in Asia.

Now I'm confused. Shiv said he was the only distributor. ..

JP · 06-04-2014, 09:45 PM

maybe he is for the ones he rebrands :p

After doing some research I think autohanh performance is buying from Shiv.

that wouldn't make sense to me. why would shiv be selling to distributors ? he'd be losing money. and customers for people still waiting.

Pretty common for US companies to buy parts from overseas and sell as their own. This doesn't mean another company couldn't do the same thing and call it another XYZ name. Both companies can then claim to be the only distributor of their said "branded" header and not be lying. Fact remains though the two pieces are the same. Not saying this about the above header but in chinabay pieces in general.

No one is buying anything from us (for resale) until we are caught up with our customer backorders
