Bah. Folks, modern commercial companies are so global in nature that "french" companies are located in the US making stuff out of US parts with US workers and US supplies.

And "US" companies are making things out of japanese or taiwan parts, in singapore.

Get used to it and forget about the origins. If it works, that's what matters.

And now to work on my exhaust system...
