Microgard select, Made in Vietnam now China

[OilStained]

I got a hold of a Microgard Select MSL51394 no more that 3 months ago. It was made in Vietnam. Today, I picked one up and it’s Made in China. This one weighs a bit more. I’ll be getting it weighed later and post it. One glaring and significant change is the bypass. Another noticeable but insignificant difference is the flute stamping. The MIC is more pronounced (sharp).

I’ve seen this with the STP XLs for my daughter’s Santa Fe in the past. Different factories with some differences between them. Specs and quality should still be the same

Yep, PGI states that they have x2 different locations, at any given time, for production. China & Vietnam being the primary countries from what has been posted on here. Both look good from the outside.
