I am a firm believer in the "if it's too good to be true..." and for only $195 it seems like it. But the build and the materials are right.

I recommend getting the DC Sports manifold, it's been great on my car! Hey you drive a 35-40k car spend the little extra to get a good part.

That looks similar to the Turbo Trix manifold.

I am lost, why would anyone want to spend $300-1000 on a manifold, that many of the tuner's have said make no more power than a stock ported manifold? Is it for looks?

You should read David Buschur's thread about aftermarket headers for the evo and review the dyno charts. Any amount of money may be too much to spend on something for the stock turbo.
