They are stock replacements, not much better than stock from reading around.

Default I remember reading someone posted logs comparing the 2, stock and IPP, and there was not much if

not no difference at all. I am not sure about this company, not much word on it. My guess is that it's probably the same story.

Default Agreed. Need to see some logs. If someone would be willing to do it, you could

pick up a set cheap and log them. I emailed the seller a while ago and he said that he could do $250 shipped on them. Put in an offer on the auction...log them, and let us see what happens

that is a good idea. Then you can turn around and sell them on Audizine.
