Here we go. Ebay Manifold.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Exoti...QQcmdZViewItem

Now looking at this auction, I see two things. One, the shipping says "from canada" which is strange in itself, because evos are not legal there if im not mistaken. The second, is that looking at the pictures, it appears that the manifold has had all the slag from welding on the inside of the manifold machined away, and that the quality of the welds on the outside of the manifold are looking top notch. Im not saying that this manifold wont crack like XS Power or any other tubulars that have that problem, but this actually "looks" (in these pictures) to be of decent quality. Anyone have any experence with it?

it looks like takeoff from a gtspec mani

best bet is just to port your stock manifold and save your cash for a turbo kit that comes with a better quality / functioning manifold

It doesn't meet the insurance slow crash test standards due to the cost/damage of the fmic. If you keep it registered in us, then you can drive in canada.

All these manifolds are made by the same sweat shops. They will crack over time. Say no to Ebay Stores.

I don't know anything about that manifold, but don't think too hard about the country of origin...

Canada may not sell Evos but Ultimate Racing makes parts for the Evo and they are located in Toronto
