Fake vs Real Quik-Latch comparison and review
I bought some fake Quick-Latches about 6 weeks ago and one has started to fail, so I made a quick video on a comparison of the two and why the real ones are much better, and worth your money.

Mustang Ecoboost MBRP Race Exhaust
มุมมอง 13K8 ปีที่แล้ว
First start of the day. 2015 Mustang Ecoboost 6MT. B
Did you add the downpipe? I have this exhaust but I also paired it with a BBK downpipe.
@@Djdub5757 nope, stock downpipe.
It sounds sexy bro, I have a blow off valve I want this next thanks for the video 🔥🔥. Is it terrible loud or annoying or you happy overall?
Loved this exhaust every mile out of the 70k I had the car. I sell them now at Lethal Performance too if you want a hook up! Just call or email in and ask for Duston. We’re also doing a 2022 Whipple GT giveaway that any purchase will enter you in.
I didn’t even know there were real and fake, thanks for the video
IS THIS COMPANY (QUIK-LATCH) STILL IN BUSINESS?? The entire website has been UNDER CONSTRUCTION for YEARS and EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT SAYS "OUT OF STOCK". Their instagram page has not been updated in YEARS... And the facebook page also has not been updated in YEARS.. I worry about WARRANTY if the company is not reachable. They appear to have NO CONTACT INFORMATION on the page (all under construction).
They are still in business. I actually work for a company who sells their products now, but I did not at the time of this video. Their number is 800 604 0244 and their email is sales@q-latch.com
I think you found an old version of their website. You can also contact whoever you bought them from to set up a return.
@@dustondoesit3913 You are correct, looks like they need to contact google because when you search them, the very first website and those after are of that "OLD" website. I've talked to others yesterday and seems I'm not the only one who assumed they were closed down and even went with other brands thinking they would have no warrranty since there is NO contact information on that website. I haven't bought anything as I didn't want to if I had no way for the life time warranty if the company was not in business anymore.
@@dustondoesit3913i just bought QL-38 at amazon for 141$. Should i be concerned whether it’s original or fake ? You make me regret for not buying it on e-bay 🥹
Thanks for this video
For sure! I have some new videos planned to expand on fake vs real, and some more videos about car stuff.
Whether it's fake or not, the most important thing is that it works according to its function, there are imitation items but the quality is the same
I demonstrated how in this video the quality is absolutely not the same. If someone was using a knockoff as a hood latch and it failed like mine did, it’s thousands in damages (hood, numerous mounting parts and a windshield)
You definitely get what you pay for! Great video!
jajajjaa they fit
They fit, just would never use them to hold a hood down.
I will tell you the difference between the chinese knockoff and the real ones. You can feel auch a difference in weight because both use an anodized outer aluminum body but the important inside parts locking mechanism ect are very different the "chinese" knockoffs use cheap tin metal and the same aluminum on the outer body on the locking mechanism. The genuine quick latch uses stainless steel and hardened brass parts thats why they feel better mde and the weight is heavier from the thick brass that will last forever after years of use you might feel the spring get just a hair softer but they will never just pop loose or fall apart.
Completely agree, the real ones are still working perfectly, where my fake ones failed within a year.
Where can I buy genuine copies?
Yoo 69 likes!
You got a link or something ?
$27 for real QL? I paid $150 for QL48
can you share a link?
Thanks for this video the old saying " You get what you pay for". I was never going to buy the cheap version any way knowing I'd be taking a chance. Now thanks for the confirmation. Peace Brother
I’m glad to take that chance! Especially if it ends up proving how much better the US made product is.
Real fake it’s all the same shit ain’t nothing made in America anymore they make everything in china to save money
No, quik latch absolutely manufactures their products in the USA with domestic materials.
@@dustondoesit3913 suuuuure they do
@@jlw7kid th-cam.com/video/fOo50hiP4LE/w-d-xo.html 🤷♂️
How can I tell fake? I bought them made is USA so I be ok
This video has some pretty good indicators where I show the differences on the inside or the outside. If I remember correctly Quiklatch is the only US company that has a patent on these.
I must end up w some fake ones cause I lost a bumper at the track because of it. Going back to DZUS!
Thanks for this video I almost bought the fake ones to save a few bucks but decided to go with real ones for quality
Thanks for that
Thanks for the clarification. I was just looking at some for $22 for both of them on amazon
thank you for sharing the truth
Hope it was helpful!
The real quick latches are ridiculously expensive for what they are
I agree and disagree. One one hand $52 isn’t bad at all for something that stops your hood flying up and causing thousands in damage. Might be overkill for a bumper that already has broken clips. But like I said, the cheap ones failed on me, so that means $40 since you have to buy them twice.
@@dustondoesit3913 I would gladly pay the 120+ or so for the real 400lb holding power hood clips. But the push button ones shouldnt be more than $10 or $20 bucks because they can only support 10lbs or so. Sorry about your car btw. It was beautiful and I hope you managed to fix it or get a good replacement ✌
Boy, you shake a lot ... Thanks for the clarification tho
Yeah I tend to do that after I spend all day outside consuming caffeine and no breakfast. Just what happens sometimes.
@@dustondoesit3913 🤣🤣🤣 I gotcha
Where do you get the good ones?
Sorry for late reply, eBay.
I must've got a lucky batch of the fake ones. I put the rods in a vice, then grabbed the heads with some 90 degree needle nose pliers and tried my damndest to pull the cap off the rod and couldn't lol
Nothing wrong with the fake ones, I feel like this is a biased video. Mine are fine and you can't pull them off.
Mine didn’t fail until being on for a while, that being said, I held no bias towards either. When the cheap ones failed me is when I formed my opinion about them.
Reality with the "Fake" ones is a BUNCH of knock off companies make them. Some will be more than fine. Others will be utter shite. Its a roll of the dice- in general, check reviews for the specific "knock off" you intend to buy, and it should give you a reasonable grasp of what kind of quality they are (assuming you can get reviews of them).
"Chinesium" 🤣
The weakest metal known to mankind. A homologation of tin, weak aluminum and cheap steel 😂
@@dustondoesit3913 I was about to buy 4× of these from ebay for £8 to fix my bumper. Then I saw this vid so looked for more. Saw two where guys used 2 on their car bonnets and they failed, the bonnet flipped up and smashed the windscreen and roof 😱. To get the real Quik-release in the UK they are £103 for 4 but its def better than my bumper ripping off and getting run over 🤣
Is this the installer series or the xp series
Get the higher model one it’s stainless steel won’t rust 👍🏽
this is the installer. only black option is installer. the only difference between installer and XP is build material. they sound identical.
is there a drone sound at times? . it's good for the long trip? Please
John Hulster not really any drone and yeah, it’s good for road trips
@@dustondoesit3913 cool dude thanks you 😀,I will tale it
Did it have a stock downpipe? Also do you need a tune after installing the exhaust (I want to keep my warranty)
No downpipe,no tune. A catback is pretty much never not warranty friendly. Happy boosting
Which bov do you have on? Exhaust sounds amazing
DStangLife i vented the factory one to air. Search free BOV mod mustang ecoboost, and youll find it.
Duston Dolamore lol I’ve actually seen the vid you’re talking about before, it sounds good!
Oh and how does the turbo sound with the exhaust?
DStangLife you can hear a little whistle but unless you take out the cat the turbos on these cars are quiet
Hory shiet 🤤 that sounds good
which model number is this one? Interested in buying this one
+Fhluxuate S7275BLK
Did the air intake make it louder?
no intake. but yes the only reason you hear that pshhhhhh is because I removed a tube from the intake, capped the intake port and let the blowoff valve vent to air.
+Duston Dolamore do you have a link how to do that?
+Claudio Canseco th-cam.com/video/E-QFQeQ6xqY/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
Sounds good. That sound that it's like a valve when you release the throttle is the exhaust? Or any other mod?
+SauronEH No thats a mod I did to the blowoff valve. Its the sound of the turbo venting unneeded boost to the air. Completely stock otherwise. Ill post the link in the comments.
Sounds good. This one is my first option. It's a stock car w/ MBRP exhaust? Or anything else? Air intake?
+SauronEH Stock with exhaust yup. And BOV mod
Duston Dolamore whats bov mode ?
Blow off valve, it’s the “puff” like sound you hear
Do you have a blow of valve? Or only the exhaust?
+wiltonracing Wils Factory BOV, I removed the recirculation hose and capped off the intake port. There is a video on YT somewhere.
