Most companies sub out manufacturing on components. I'm just wondering who makes these for Ma.

Any ideas?

Mopar gets bids on different parts... most likely it
went to the cheapest bidder and that could be anyone

Jackie Chan chops, kicks, and stomps them into shape. But I think he does it here in the USA, therfore they are ok to use.

The MP's are nicely finished. Don't look like most offshore stuff but obviously no one knows who the MFR really is. I used a set of K1's last year and they are good rods but are not near as nicely finished as these MP hemi rods I got. More to it than looks though.

Oh, I'm pretty sure someone here knows or can find out.

Most likely, it was someone who asked for more info and didn't get any.

Enjoy the silly remarks, bye

You could probably find out, but it likely changes pretty often. All kidding aside "low bidder" makes the rods.

I won't reveal sources, but the P4532738 and P5249898 MP rods that I have are made and finished in the USA.

They are nice pieces and I have no qualms about running them. Take that for what you will.
