Default Name that manifold!!

Hey this guy is selling this manifold for $800 and I was wandering if it was a good deal...he says that its a Full Race Prostreet Ramhorn manifold with downpipe. B-Series. But I know that fullrace welds are a lot cleaner than that, but then I also know that back then they did fullrace manifolds by hand too...Do you know?

He just means compared to the robotic tig welds of the new manifolds. You'd have to see one in person to understand.

I'v done the same thing before. The hand welded mani's look like crap compared to the robot welded ones. THe robotic welded mani's look insanely good.
