This might explain difference in cost between the two. The 2.0 nut is used and the copper is new. Note the copper one has elongated hole.

Again, you're joining the ranks of those who call those things "copper" nuts. They're NOT copper, they're STEEL, with a copper plating. Clearing out the "pinch" makes them regular nuts with a hefty price tag.

Personally if I can't find OEM ones I will go with these: http://vwparts.aircooled.net/ACN-Flanged-R...-p/acn-nuts.htm REALLY nice when dealing with larger OD header stubs. |

These are the ones I went with. They worked fine with my SSi's and were no trouble to install. |
