I would be Leary about buying something like that, Its too Colorful. Do you See The Throtle Body, No place for any of the Vaccumes, nor for the IAC stepper Motor.

Your CAr won't Even Run with that thng atached. Those ports are Soo Shorr.

i don't think the throttle body comes with it. the runner do look kinda short, more suited for high rpm range.

Clearly, the seller is not a native English speaker. Do you laugh at the physically handicapped, too?

For what he is asking, you can get a reputable intake manifold for similar money..

HOWEVER, I don't know the quality if this piece, but it does have similar bosses for vacuum lines, and it does look to be of good quality (for the price it should be)

What scares me is his "Universal fit" type comments.. The orientation of the evo4-8 engine, and the older 4G63t DSM engines is reversed, and therefore would clearly be two different manifolds for the correct application.

The welds do look to be of good quality, but I doubt your getting a "Proven" manifold design, and therefore I'd stay away from it.. Even the high-end intakes have had blowouts at their welds..

MalibuJack is right , For around the same cash, you can get a reputable intake. The old saying will always apply...."You get what you pay for"

It would be a shame if you problems you could have NO recourse if you had any problems, buy from a know source.
