People need to learn that if they want a good quality kit that isn't going to blow up their car that they need to spend the $$$ and that usually means avoiding "ebay" parts.

 

Yea, this knock-off looks nothing like mine. Mine has the wastegate in the same place as inlinePRO and looks virtually identical on the outside. There are different knock-offs out there I guess.

 

Yep that was my point, big difference in the 2. Someone said there Egay mani was good for 800hp and there is not way. 800hp would be pushing the Inline Pro mani past its limit, more power would be seen with a better mani all other factors being the same.

 

vs




knife edged merge, obviously thicker. as stated before, the iron is far stronger. the fit is perfect. the turbo mount flange is tilted for a perfect fit on a B series block with a 5 bolt housing.

as others have said, you have your mind made up. some people buy the real thing, others go for knock offs. you see it with clothes, tools, etc. what i have pictured is $700 but it's also going to function correctly and last as long as i keept it. break down is $375 manifold, $100 ceramic coating $225 tial wg

 

what big difference?




ummmm NO

same inside the eBay mani

same as eBay mani

same as eBay mani and same angle judging by looking at them in person.




Now let's take a look at some pictures....



EBAY:



INLINEPRO



Doesn't anybody else think that they are made in the same factory?

 

Yeah I have that pic as well, flange is off set and fits the head perfectly, needs some minimal port work. WG is in same spot as Inline Pro

 

inline pro should chime in.

 

100$ ebay mani that works "good enough"... might meet your purpose. Some ppl have had success.

worried about cracking, coat it or add some bracing to support the weight of the turbo.

worried about flow, buy some porting/honing bits and go to town with your dremel (everyone has one).

looking for a 10-year investment, try gold or real estate.

 

Been rocking my inlinepro t3 ac stainless steel manifold since 2004 and its still going strong, many many passes down the strip, some at 35+psi. Let me know how that ebay manifold is in 2017, lol.
Only pic I have at the moment!

 

Yes the Blox is a very close copy. But a COPY none the less. You can get a used inlinepro cast SS mani for under $300 most of the time and with that you will have the reputation that comes with having it. Or you could get a Blox and facilitate copycat products just to keep a dime or two in your pocket for now.

I have learned my lesson with buying cheaper "copies". Not worth it when you can just exercise some discipline and save money for better and more proven parts.

 

IF you can find one. i waited around 6 months on ebay and on the forum for a T3 inline manifold. the cast stainless one that was posted for $300 sold the same day and an iron one went for 225 before i could snag it. eventually i said F it and just ordered an iron one direct from inline.

as for the OP. dude is going to have to learn the hard way. he's hell bent on arguing with all of us

 

There are typically 3-4 of them floating around here in VA throughout the year. The T4 manifold's are a little harder to find and that is why I jumped on one when I found it!

 

Go-Autoworks has a cast mani for under $150. You know it is good coming from them. On a side note the InLine Pro SS mani is sexy.

 

and eBay mani is $59 shipped...

 

 

I have a T3 inline pro mani....and I cant wait to put it on...I have heard nothing but good comments about InlinePro!

 

I've known the guys at InlinePRO since 2001 in their first facility before there were even ON H-T. They do NOT use the same factory as the e-bay ones that you're seeing. If anything the e-bay guys attempted to copy them physically, so that you, the easily-convinced newbie, can fall for that crap and swear up and down its the same to convert other easily-convinced newbies into falling for the same jazz.

You've convinced yourself, so go ahead and use your 70 dollars, and try it out.. We're telling you, its not the same in materials or creation process. But, go ahead..

 

It has been on my car over a year already. I was just looking to upgrade, but then decided not to since it can support way more power than I'll ever need.

 

you have any idea where they are cast? when i talked to the guys at inline they sounded like they had a direct connection to where they were cast. i asked about their name not being cast on the one they sent me. their reply: eh, sometimes we do, sometimes we don't

 

The Blox is not a copy , try fitting an inline pro downpipe on the Blox and you'll find it sits lower , the Blox manifold is a design of its own

 

Just because it is a copy doesn't mean it is a perfect copy...

 

Lol at this thread. OP, please stay NA so you don't give turbo Honda's a bad rep.

 

man one conversation about an ebay manifold isnt gona give Honda's a bad name. if the op wants to buy a 70 manifold from ebay let him. its a learning experience, but remember OP "if your gona be stupid you better be tough". dont be upset when the **** doesnt work out like you want it to. just know what you bought isnt the best so dont expect it to be

 

Please tell me no one else takes me too serious... i guess i am a bit to sarcastic for some...

 

The manifolds we produce are not made in the same factories as the other manifolds mentioned. The owner of inlinePRO has friends in the manufacturing industry overseas where we have them produced. They are made in the same factories as the OEM Car manufacturers use. They only produce the manifolds as a favor to us.

As far as which manifold you pick it is really up to you in what you are looking for in a part. Price vs quality. We offer a lifetime warranty on all of our manifolds. Many times customers will buy less expensive parts on ebay and they will break or crack and then they end up buying one of ours. In the end they up spending more.

On our T4 manifolds we have made over 850whp.
