Yes, but try to find it elsewhere. I would stay away from LancerShop if I were you.

Not bashing LS (too much) but I've gotten better CS from the cable company...

I'd suggest doing more research on that mani

and if you do decide to get it

you MUST replace the gaskets with OEM...do not use the provided ones

I was actually going to make a thread on this very topic. I've had the mani for 2 years with several hundred start/stop cycles of the engine and have yet to crack this manifold. Anyone else have the same luck?

im had the same luck... i guess it is the pick of the litter maybe but i love my manifold lol... a lot of 140mph races and it still hasn't cracked but i guess it depends which one you get...but the engine does get louder because of the thinner piping of the megan manifold compared to the stocker

your better getting off a ported and jetted stock mani. Look into buschur or egay. I have seen ported and coated stock mannys on egay. Tubular mannys usually crack after a while.

Its pretty self explanitory that ported and coated is better then a manifold that will crack. Right? But if you are going to port/coat go to http://www.paradigmperformance.net/ their coating and porting is Excellent. I really recommend them.

Look at some of the Buschur options for the stock manifold.
