Looks like the ebay full race knock off to me. ^ Dont listen to him either. There are many many many on here running this manifold on thier budget builds making great power with no cracks.

Misinformation sucks. The only deal is that if something does happen there is noone to stand behind it

I have this manifold doing a 35r build and I believe member evolved made 500whp with this mani and a 50trim alot of people will tell you not to use it its going to crack or its a cheap knock off but alot of them are just going off of what the heard and not experienced them self. I have used ebay parts and parts from some of our top vendors and have had failures form both the only difference when an ebay part fails it cost you a few haundred but when some of these top vendors products fail its usually a bit more.

Its funny you say that?? Because i know a guy that had one and it cracked in no time so he got with this company (that has been deleted from ebay many times, under different names) and they replace it after 1k miles then it cracked again!! So if your saying it is not going to crack, then buy it and find out for yourself! Im not trying to sell nothing, but only trying to help fellow evo owners and make sure they dont waste their money on trash like this! Sorry if you dont like my post but i do post in complete honesty.

check out inside of the collector and trust me they all look like that, do u really want to install a $1300 turbo on a manifold that a collectors looks like that , it will kill ur turbo. I had one of these manifolds when they just came out a while ago and as soon as i got it i sent it back because it was bad.

You can always reinforce the welds and add some gussets to the "weak" areas for added security.

its a terrible knockoff of our t3 prostreet manifold. it is made of very low grade stainless steel with awful welds. I expect you will have problems and in the long run will spend more money than you save

Right. I had one of these manifolds and the inside of the collector looks like crap. Bunch of splattering and dingleberries inside that will go straight into your turbo if they get hot enough and shoot out.
