any reviews on the ebay "XS" turbo manifolds?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1
searching for an equal lengh mani, i found this popping up all over ebay. its not the OBX or the SSautochrome one.
just wondering if anyone had any feedback? on a budget so this is right in my price range.
edit: uh oh, upon more searching i came across this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1
if you go down to their email address, its none other than SSAutochrome. looks like XS is their new "brand"

It IS the ssautochrome manifold - as stated in the auction.
It doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure everyone is going to come in here saying its crap although they've never tried it. I'm an antichromist

people bitch and say stuff like "if you've never tried it then don't bash it!!!"
how many people have to have a horrible experience with this crap before it's ok to assume what they make is ****???
so maybe SOME people made it work.... for the other 98% it was complete crap.
With turbo setups you get what you pay for....
SSautocrome is complete ****

screw the haters? eveybody here knows that **** is no good! its just like full-race. 99% of people are completly happy and have not a single problem with there full-race mani, there might be one in 100 made that have a problem. with xs/ssauto, 99% of people get **** and 1% of people get a quality manifold. ur probably the 1%. just because ur lucky does'nt mean u can say "screw the haters".

No, none of you guys actually tried out their new manifold. Its thicker and better. Why complain when they are trying to improve their products?
Have you personally used their new manifold? I dont think so. Yes, SCREW THE HATERs.
Lots of you guys got stupid thing to say about it. Have a life guys. No one got real facts

100 threads? I believe it until I see it. Ive seen stupid remarks etc, bashing their manifold. Only few came out to be true of it cracking. Due to them recutting or rewelding, or they bottom ending on their downpipe and wam goes the manifold.
It ok though, everybody is entitled to their own beliefs. Im just here, stating my experience and many other local guys who do run them and their other products.
So be it. You spend your money.
I on the other hand, think they work nicely.

I am tempted to try the newest knock off they have, but the customer service sucks.
when that manifold camed cracked it was on the inside of the runners #2and#3 where it connects to the head flange, I emailed them about 10 times and get no replies. plus at the same time I ordered a downpipe that was advertized as 3 inches, but when I got it, it was 2 inch crush bend, that has a 3 bolt flange on it that did not reach the cat. so I was pissed because they never answered my messages. I had to sell this **** for nothing because it was useless to me. so now its risky buying anything else from them. bad service=bad products
