Finally! A T3 flanged manifold that doesn't require the sacrifice of your first born child. Yay for XS-Power!

Welds look decent. Wish I could see inside of the manifold.

anyone actually supporting these clowns probably works for them, everything they make is garbage and will always be garbage

they don't use the same material, they dont have any quality control, all they know how to do is copy something...and they suck at that as well LOL

Its not a copy if the welds and material are of a poorer quality. Anyone have any dyno's yet?

so think about this- theres been a lot of people running quality aftermarket headers, companys like DC, with cracking occuring within the first year or two... I would put money on it that that mani will crack within 25K miles

I dont doubt that the quality is low, but if someone wants to use it, more power to them. I on the other hand will wait, see how it turns out for them, and then decide what to do. If theres cracks in 500 miles, then looks like I wont be using it, however, if it works flawlessly for 10,000, than I may look into it. As for full race being pissed off, they shouldnt really, unless this turns out to be workable, because when these start breaking left and right there going to have a lottttttt of orders.

I do beleave with a real good coating on the outside and inside this manifold will not crack becasue it will keep the temps way down vs haveing it with the ss look.

Im going to do it in may im building my evo right now and makeing a one off turbo kit for my car now so untill we get that setup all said and done then we can work and dyno test this product.

Priceing on parts lets see

gt30R 1050 bb
or
gt30 non bb 650

44mm wg 350-400

this manifold 350

like i said i dont trust this downpipe so ill make my own 200

it would be around 2200 out the door with tax and shipping.
It will actually increase the temperature of the manifold by keeping the heat inside, which would cause it to crack sooner.

Don't like the downpipe. Looks like a PITA anytime you need to take it off. They should make it 2 pieces. Not sure about the manifold. I never noticed any slag or any bad welds on their stock replacement. I don't think this one will be any different. The material also looks a bit thicker than the stock replacement.

I have heard good things about these guys, but my question is how long will they last? It is bang for the buck for sure, but for how long?

after a while you get used to it! they use **** material with terrible welds, awful fitment and poor fabrication, but its CHEAP

as far as im concerned this is a downgrade over the stock manifold, but what do i know..
