I agree with marks point. Its not like the original manufacturer is some big corporate rip off giant who wont notice the loss, but is a much smaller company who could well be damaged by it.
Im surprised no legal action is being bought against airtec as it is a blatent copy, not even just similar style but copy.

So is everything airtec make.
There twin pass s2 intercooler was based on a GRS kit.
There new single pass s2 intercooler is based on a pro alloy kit.
There mk1 focus rs kit was a copy of the pro alloy/rad tec kit.
There products work extremly well, often better than the "real thing".
They also have a copy of the cosworth duratec inlet manifold.
I would happily use them on my car.

the airtec plenum appears to be 100% identical except for the "airtec" logo.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
It amazes me how a company that thinks it's great has to COPY someone elses parts they must be so fucking clever there brain stopped working on that day. And I bet there is fuck all different about them, as for patenting something , it's a lot of cash for little protection but that when ip rights come in and if i am correct the ip rights on the hart plenium ( which are a right which is automatic when you have sold a product so I am told ) so with that in place there maybe a case for the hart plenium to fuck over the very unimaginative airtec plenium which I hope it does as airtec done sod all work towards the development of the hart one, it amaze how they think there so clever , and it will be cheaper as they aint done no research Coz they theived someone elses hard work

As you read this post there is lots of bits people are saying airtec are COPYING so that must just confirm that they can't think for them selfs and have no imagination , the thing I find funny about all this is the only things they do that look good are the things they COPYED of other people

Cant belive your all bitching about a product being copied ffs thats just business.. When you go down to currys and look at the tv's whats that actual diffrences between each make? How about all the tuners that made
It big in the cosworth mapping scene by ripoing of fords software and altering it slightly and then passing it
Of as there own.. Granted there was some reserch/ trial and error involved but its
Not like anyone started with a blank map..Auto specialists have been very clever to find the gap that people want.. Copy a product and maybe alter it slightly,remanafacture it at a lower cost and sell it to those who want to save money.. Its pure genius especially in this economy! The funny thing is that it will
More than likly performe better than the hart inlet

Auto specialist have simply got it sorted in the market place where others fail, the same reason MSD are more successful than its competition they market the products they sell well and sell them in the bucket load - may not be right but.....

How can you say they have found a gap in the Market all they have done is looked at what is selling and said fuck it I will copy someone elses hard work and under cut them , which makes it shit for the person that designed it , and as for ford being copyed I'm sure if they felt they had then they would sue, and they prob have sued a few company's in the past that we don't know of because we don't need to know , and as for people saying why are people going on about it being a copy and it being out of order , well coz it fucking is and that why so more small company's fall at the way side , just open your eyes and see it for what it is , a fucking copy

I never said it wasnt a copy but the truth of the fact is if it rproduces the figures and is £120 quid cheaper people are going to buy it.. Thats how they have found the gap in the market

The hart plenium don't look anything like the mis one .
The people behind hart pleniums are not doing them for airtec .
Patent are on the idea and sometimes it's safer not to patent ie wd40 as you have to disclose a lot of stuff for all to see but you will prob find that interlectural property right (ipr) cover something like this as time will tell
