Some people prefer to spend more money for OEM as a matter of course, and on some parts there is a substantial difference. But in this case, I use the $99 one on my own Vanagon. It is a good quality U.S. made part, and is direct-fit (no welding required). They are both good products. I have not noticed any significant difference in longevity, ease of fitment, or ability to pass state emissions inspection. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
