I have had my ebay manifold for like 8 months and no leaks, cracks or issues at all. I noticed a good power gain with it, and seemed to pull harder up top. But I have to tap a egt for zethronix. And its easier in the stock manifold. I think im going to add the ported stock mani, and 10.5 hotside. I will do a before and after log with the zethronix and see what it looks like. Ill post the results up and if its no good ill send the ecu out to Al. I just cant afford a 3ed custom tune. And i have meth, so Im hopping he can sell me an email update on my tune and i can use ecu flash.

You still have to be damn careful with those blades.
