Promised Pix of Ebay manifold







Flanges were machined down to fit right, which i would recommend to anyone even attempting to use this. Rewelded a Tial 38mm flange and its ready to go right after i weld a support bar from t3 - manifold flanges.

Risky, but actually looks nice. If the 1,000 dollar ones crack, what's the worst that can happen with an ebay one?

Crack

Only diff is most 1000$ ones are warrentied for life
Unless your a welder/ machinist this is gonna cost you more then your gonna expect for it to work right.

I mean the welds are good, but arent very pretty. I'm just worried about if they used the correct metal to weld the too together which would lead to premature cracking also.

So in other words, that's a full race manifold copy? I think I've heard of a few cracking.

The ebay manifolds crack....its not a question of "if" its "when". I used one for about a year on my turbo crx (figured eh worth a shot). My dad is a welder so we welded on supports at different locations and it still ended up cracking. It was lifetime warrantied but I didn't feel like constantly pulling it off returning for a new one and re-supporting it, etc. So I canned it and bought a cast manifold and never looked back.
