Standard Motor Products?

Sometimes the Intermotor stuff from SMP is OEM, you need to look at the part itself for COO. Honda PCV for example is reboxed OE Honda for much less than the Honda dealer. Denso isn't all its cracked up to be either lately, they have some real iffy stuff out there, some plug wires for one thing.
Nice box, lots of cool advertising fluff but poor quality cables inside.

I had a Denso plug wire go bad on me and wreck my front cats, on this car(Lexus LS400) the ECM didn't have logic to cut fuel to the cylinders affected. They weren't made by Sumitomo/Yazaki or even Seiwa like NGK but in the US by an unknown supplier.

I've bought two parts from Wells for my Acura Vigor that were the same as OEM.
I haven't had much luck with Standard recently. So, switching to Wells.
