APEX is 95% Chinese imports. That's where you go to take a tial waste gate, and ask a China man "how much for 1000 of these?" LOL. When I was with Shearer, I inquired about what it would cost to replicate our manifolds-they quoted us $125-$150 a unit made out of thick (think weld-el) SS, with warranty, SHIPPED to us on a pallet. Minimum order 100 pieces at a time. That was half of just our material cost at the time.
