I've had no problem with DNPs manifolds for the T3's. Ive custom made 3 kits for the evo using DNP products and theyve held up and honestly thought DNP is very affordable. With that price, Id say give it a shot. But again, ebay is hit and miss like that guy said...

it looks like a Full-Race knockoff. A very poorly made knockoff.

While it doesn't look half bad, I still wouldn't trust it. If you're looking for a cheaper manifold, I'd go with a Megan

ok heres a real answer for you, i put together a custom turbo kit on my friends evo and thats the manifold we used, we didnt use the downpipe.

hes been running it for about 7 months and it hasnt cracked yet .

If i remember right theres a vendor that tested out the manifold as well and said it cracked about 3 times and they rewelded it and havnt had anyproblems since then.

IMO i would rather spend 150 bucks on a manifold and reweld it a few times then spend over a grand on a mnaifold that will prolly still crack.

It is a horrible part!!! DONT BUY IT. I made the plunge and bought it to see if it was any good. Downpipe had to cut and repositioned the manifold needs alot of reinforcing, the welds on the collecter (on the inside) are really bad and will cause welding slag to break off and go into the turbo.

Just spend more and buy a good, quality part that is known to work right.

I've had mine for a while and it has held together nicely, I just don't like the look of it after it turns brown. I am changing it out with a P/C stocker once my cams are installed.

I agree that not all ebay stuff is junk. But I DID buy this manifold and ran into all kinda of fitmit issues, then I saw the inside of the collector. WOW is it horrible. HAFE is where it is at.
