....when I originally installed my AEM/DC Sports manifold, it wasn't in very long before cracks on cyl 1 & 4 appeared on the outer welds from the tubes to the flange. So, AEM/DC had me ship it back to see if it was their fault. After some time, they shipped me one for free to replace it. As I was searching options, Buschur's ported/coated swap option was an undisclosed amount of time for return. They couldn't tell me turn around time to have it done, and did not have any ready for shipping out. So, I ordered a MEGAN manifold to compare with the AEM/DC manifold. Well after a side to side comparo, teh MEGAN won it over for me. Seemed to be much 'heavier-duty'. Especially for teh everyday shmo who doesn;t tear his car apart every weekend. The AEM/DC was extremely light weight and looked like a work of art. But I didn;t want to risk another cracked manifold. So I returned it and got the credit. Kept the MEGAN and installed it. Install was easy because I mounted up the TME 6.5 and the MEGAN O2 housing and then dropped it into place. So far so good
