    Another counterfeit product

    Saw this posted on one of the Matrix forums I frequent - another counterfeit item:

    A’PEXi AUTO TIMER - for you turbo guys that want to run the engine after you down down to prevent cooking the motor oil in the lines and bearings.

    May not apply to everyone here - but if you know someone that has picked one up - might direct to the A'PEXi website for more info.

    there are some good lookin knock offs though. The fake one looks really good for a fake i mean. If it werent so damn bulky you could probably pass it off. but i agree people need to just freakin quit

    This is disheartening.... between the fake S-techs, this Apex'i timer, and the deadbeat seller 05wrx... who can you trust anymore? You can't even trust Walmart ;)

    Walmart is part of the reason we have all of these fake goods. They've been one of the biggest contributors to growth of cheap electronics manufacturing in China... They literally tell manufacters what they want and how much they'll pay for it because they have that much power.

    I think in part of offset the low profit margin many manufacturers see in selling products to Walmart, they may turn to producing and selling fake goods. This doesn't explain the fake Apexi products of course, but just a theory.
