Seems like the MR vortex gen. bar has a bunch more fins....thus seems like it'd be more efficient. Why not just go with an MR vortex generator?

These types of knock-offs just cheapen the look and functionality of the OEM VG.

If you look at some of the design documents for the Evo vortex generator you can see that there quite a bit of Evo specific wind tunnel testing done.

The height of the fins was set to match the thickness of the boundary layer flowing over the Evo. Several shapes were tried to optimize the separation delay of the airflow down the window.

So if it is for looks get it if it floats your boat, don’t expect it do function well.
