That really depends on the manufacturer. I've found many - very
many, aftermarkete parts that were far superior to the OEM stuff.
Can't really boil that down to who/what/when/where, but I can say
that one should not simply assume that OEM is better. Too much
evidence against that.



You can't assume that all after market is up to par with OEM. I
have seen a lot of crap out there.

Absolutely - but I had said that in a different post. There is some pure
junk out there.
