Do a search, that has been discussed many times.
Basically, some hold up, some don't
And yea, you're paying for the name, but that name has something to back it up, like the quality and dependibility of the company and the product. You're paying for the company to run tests, to make the part out of something that will last a little longer than a month, and basically you're just paying for a better part.

Don't buy e-bay, for your safety, your car's safety, and the safety of people around you. If you even manage to get it to fit without "customizing" it, i bet you plastic they put into it would start melting into your engine. yes, they've been known to be made from plastic. do some research first.
