Personally I wouldn't buy that HKS one unless the supplier can provide a picture on one installed in an FC. If they can't, you have to wonder why not...

Also, I would agree that the flow is more restrictive, but I would agrue that it is unnoticable, BUT, measureable.

There's nothing psychological about it...
The only reason the restriction is "unnoticable" to you is because you have no way to compare it to anything else.
It's not like steel pipe and proper couplers are expensive or hard to get. I don't see why you'd want to go that cheap n' nasty just to save a few bucks.
