most china copies break, not crack...that means the wastegate falls off the car and in most cases the turbo as well, so if you don't want your turbo/wastegate to make sweet love to the highway at 75mph i suggest not buying cheap manifolds made from old tuna cans

Wonder why the runners are placed differently between the two manifolds. The ramhorn is so simple. Always wondered how they chose which runners went where but firing order might be the reason for that. They are both different.

I wouldnt run the fake manifold. I currently have one, had to do all kinda of reinforcing and welding, and it still gives me chills about running it. I should have never wasted the money on it.
