Be thankful it already has KillerB oil pickup tube.

I'm looking at the Tube, Baffle, Pan combo now and it is $685 plus 3-4hours for install.

They do a much better job than I:

Paraphrase:
Subaru made their pickup with weak material and it is prone to breaking causing complete engine failure (is what I surmised).

I was on their site before and was surprised at all the broken links and missing pictures. I guess rallysport just picked them up.

They just picked up a bunch of names - I noticed they had RCE products on there recently and then saw the plethora of other companies.

Oddly enough, its cheaper to get the parts through RSD than it is to go through KillerB's site.

209 + Shipping (total $223) from KillerB
167 + Shipping on RSD -- orders over $200 for free shipping, and if you get the pickup you might as well get the baffle and oil pan too.

MSRP is a whore of a mistress. Each company can give you a limit on how low you can post below MSRP. We got in trouble for posting a price $0.99 below MSRP once.

Working out an effective dealer network is the best strategy for any company. You base your pricing and discounts at a dealer level, not a one by one customer basis. The effort and time spent on one person is not worth the effort.

Looking at just the cost of material and welding time, I promise you that KillerB makes at least 70% profit per piece.
