I actually have both the Renntech and FD's(Vadim) TB and both seem to be of good quality. I have Renntech's 82mm TB installed on my car right now and FD's sitting on my kitchen table in bubble wrap. I haven't fully unwrapped the various pieces yet but just by a glance things look good. Coming from manufacturing I have pretty high standards and believe the welding could be a little nicer but it's good enough and will serve the purpose(can't beat the price) . Bottom line...Renntech comes with a high price tag but it's a proven product. FD's among others just started production and time will tell of their quality and longevity, plus the price will be very affordable. If you have any specific questions in regards to this matter I'll try and answer the best I can.

BTW...the Renntech unit is plug and play and I'm not sure if that's the case with the others.
