no its not

 

Looks exactly like the FR manifolds Ive seen. Welds look perfect like FR, design is the same, only way to be sure is to see it with more high res pictures or in person.

 

it does look exactly the same...could be a really good copy im not sure. If it is real thats a steal of a price, which is another sign its fake

 

I think FullRace has a specially designed flange that bolts to the engine side. It has spaces in between the runners to allow for thermal expansion. Hard to tell from those pictures if that design cue is present. eBay is always a crap shoot.

 

Like this from their website:

but like i said you cant really see from those pics

 

i was checking it out some more...i think you're right it doesnt have those spaces

 

exactly

 

you cant tell what the welds look like because the quality of the pics are ****

 

It clearly isn't the Full-race manifold. The quality of the piping is way off and so is the price.

 

Thats not a full race manifod 100% for sure.

 

this is another sh~tty EBAY knockoff from china.

the factory that makes xs power/SSautocrhome knocks our stuff off and tried to sell it back to us. they sent me an email with a pic of 300 of these knockoff evo manifolds and tried to get us to buy them... they said if we dont buy them they will ***** them out on ebay.... they ended up on ebay

 

Is that legal??

 

good question

 

A friend of mine had recently purchased a manifold similar to this from ebay. I warned him that there was an extremely good chance it was a knock-off, however he purchased it anyway. Upon receiving the mani, the head flange was warped heavily, the material of the runners was extremely thin, as opposed to the material on the full-race (schedule 10 I believe?).

eBay seller refused to refund money, and ignored all contact attempts.

Lesson of this story. You get what you pay for.
