Point is why take the chance of having to pay more for something that should fit right in the first place?

I'm sure better companies would have made it work just fine.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to make a blanket statement like this. In the beginning, 90% of the parts from our cars came from a RHD car. Those JDM manifolds have been purchased for a long time before the toxic fabs. Its an inline 4, not a V6 like the gtr. Not to mention you're taking what happened out of context
