Their closest competition would rip that ad apart, you get what you pay for.

Well there ya go....another opinion.

Meanwhile, with a tad of research on just this site, most will agree that the RedHead is the only way to go.

Just got mine in the mail today. Can't wait to be able to stay in one lane without fighting the beast.

Now to find a thread on how to install it.....
