What is the difference between this and this ?

One is direct from Focus Central, the other is from a Focus Central distibutor.

Same part.

One has one weld between the bends, and the other has two. I don't think they are the same

They are both the same part. I belive the one from Focus Central comes with new bolts as well. They both are okay I would go with the Random Tech ORP. It is much better quality and it is the same price.

Does the ORP make your car sound like a weed eater after it's installed?

The sound isn't too bad. Seems to change a lot with engine load. When I'm alone I love it. When I have passengers I hate it. It goes from a mean snarl to a something louder and more obnoxious.

The two parts compared in the first post are different. The first has one weld, and a mounting flange. The second (CFM) has two welds and no flange. The are built to meet the same spec so they look similar. I bought the second one before I saw the first less expensive one. The part I bought from CFM is a good part. It is built heavy with nice welds. The M.I.L eliminator is well built also. Can't speak for the first. Maybe it is good too.

Any one ever consider that one is an older pic, and one is a newer pic?

Focus central is famous for constantly changing their parts as the flaws become known. THE ORP is on at least the third version.

Did anyone read the text on either listing? They are both the Focus Central ORP.

I'd go with CFM just because their customer service is top notch. Far better than buying direct from FC.
