They're usually considered crap and prone to cracking...

I like the new Maxford models.

I forget who posted them in the vendor classifieds, but check there.

And stick with the stock o2 housing.

your stock header is gold. keep it and port it. jet coat it and it will sing hallellulia(not sure how that is spelled). same with your stock o2. I suggest porting and coating that as well and it wouldn't hurt to port and coat the hotside of your turbo .

Mostly of my part came from Ebay, and still no problems with it. That's why you have to buy from the right seller .

here's my ebay manifold installed last week.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=154709

if it does crack, then i've wasted $200, but if it works and doesn't crack, then i've saved $400.
