Fast forward a lil bit, RS*R decides it only wants its brand name to be on genuine RS*R parts and stops contracting out exhausts to Invidia. Invidia says screw you guys, we're going to keep making the stuff and selling it with the RS*R name. During this period of time RS*R was not in the USA market anyway.
RS*R gets Invidia to stop stealing the RS*R brand name. RS*R also comes back to the USA market, selling parts made by RS*R.
About the same time RS*R comes back to the USA, Invidia makes a deal with skunk2 to manufacture their exhausts. They have a skunk2 badge on them and come in an Invidia box.
Hope that clears things up.
