Default Chase Bays or Rywire Engine Harness

So I've done a little bit of research about Chase bays, and so far I've gotten both sides of the fence about their products. And I'm pretty sure Rywire products already speak for themselves, however, its about $300 difference. So is the quality of their product really that much better than chase bays or am i just buying the name at this point.

I'd go with rywire. You get what you pay for. You're also in SoCal so you can reach Ryan easier if you have questions or need assistance since he's sorta local.

Might catch some flak for it but and may be a freak occurrence but Ive seen a Rywire harness for an FD aand it persuaded me not to get one. I was about to add to cart for my FD when I called my friend who just got his in the mail and he said no, the connections were shitty and wouldn't recommend it. This was about a year ago so maybe that was a fluke. Sorry if this is vague or poorly worded...Im at work and turned my brain off for a sec lol

Had a Chase-Bays Mil Spec harness for a CRX. Not only did it take over 6 months longer than the 3 month quote but arrived with some "cracked clips"

Never again I will go with Chase-Bays.

I know Ryan personally and I would never hesitate to recommend his work.

When pro race teams use his stuff, you know its the best.

I have had two friends use the Chase Bay harnesses and neither one worked from the get go. Some of the plugs were wired wrong and some just missing (alternator plug)duh. And both took about 6 months to get and their customer service sucks. Just my .02 with that said I have never seen or know anyone to use a Rywire but it looks good. You can also check out these guys at Tweakd Performance that might be able to help.
