What type of setup is this?
looks like a ram horn style.. id ask the owner what brand it is.. as thats what is most important in this case.. personally i keep the stock exhaust manifold on, since it delivers the most low/mid range power there is.
the car doesn't look all that modified, but looks can also be decieving.. it could be 100% stock but have the worst tune on it and the engine could be a ticking time bomb.. so i would also suggest getting the rom pulled from the car and having it looked at by someone before purchase.. id have no prob taking a quick look at it and giving you valuable feedback to assure you get a safe investment.
also something to look for would be, signs of it modified prior and then put back to stock, which lots of guys do to make $ on the part out portion of the ordeal.
you're always taking a chance when buying used.. just take your time and dont jump the gun and chance are you will be fine. most guys that have these cars are car enthusiast so chances are most of them are left unmolested.

you can see all the emission and vac is still there, im sure the car was barely touched. it looks to be barely modified from looking at the engine bay.
all harness clips are still there, everything seems to be in order as it was from the factory.

Opinions toward that car can be found in this thread -> https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...k-miles-5.html
I just did a search... People on other posts about this particular manifold say the radiator hose touches unless you go with an older Evo radiator at the hose runs differently but it's the same otherwise.... Is that why I see the metal sheeting or whatever in the pics I was sent? I mean, that is the stock radiator probably? Ideas?
