Is this turbo manifold any good?

i advise you not to purchase any "high performance" products on ebay. most of the time youll get some cheap taiwan parts that are identical to stock except for its polished look. I purchased stuff from megan racing... ebay *****... and i regret wasting my money on that stuff. stick with the higher end stuff. its worth it in the long run.

Very good piece of advice. Did not know knock-off parts were coming out of Taiwan.

Nice try, but you do not "forge" tube headers, nor are tubes for exhaust or intake forged in general. The tubes are extruded.

Also, you might want to actually read Full Race's page on the Evo 8 headers before making such false statements: http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=472

You might make akin forging to extruding by noting that extrusion also produces a wrought grain structure. Nevertheless, they are not at all the same thing.

An extruded product is, however, very similar to a billet, if that means anything to you.

I went from the Megan to the DC Sports. I have been happy with the DC Sports. I also read somewhere that Injen was coming out with there Turbo Manifold as well. Haven't seen anything else on it since the advertisement in a magazine.

Yeah sure, that's why my Megan DP still looks and works great after 23k miles.

Not all of these products suck, just most of them.

Now 20k mile it has not crack. when it does I'll just buy a new one. The chrome is not so chrome any more. Don't expect any chrome to shine long.
