I wouldn't expect than manifold to go more than a few weeks without cracking. I got one of those in at the shop and looked at the quality. It's terrible to say the least. I guess you get what you pay for but i would go with a rev hard for that price.

It almost looks okay in the picture, but in person you can actually see the quality. The welds are mig welded and the ones on the tubes are ground down, not a good thing. The collector is a terrible excuse for one. Main problem is the bad craftsmanship, it looks like it was mig welded by a 4 year old. If it was made the exact same design with good material, tig welded, and a decent collector, it wouldn't be a bad manifold.

also the material is 18 gauge mild steel. as it heats up it will oxidize and break down and eventually just detoriorate, give it about 1 month, if that for the turbo to actually fall off the manifold completely, and end up dragging on the ground...

its the worst imaginable thing you could do to a nice turbo.

only thing in your price range is a revhard. I really dislike most of the manifolds on the market, with the exception of ours, and revhards. Revhard is a little pricey for mild steel and mine are more but stainless steel and equal length.

drag just suck, and SFP/Turboperformance beyond suck. Inline pro copied revhard almost identically, so its a decent manifold but it could have been made better. No h sereis application from them however. go with the revhard.

Give me a call at the shop and i'll get a price for you. I am a rev hard dealer and I may even have one in stock. Not sure if I have the H23 or H22.
