<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">This manifold was custom-made to be used with a 35mm external wastegate ( Tial or Deltagate ).

This manifold is for Garrett/ Hybrid T3 and T3/T4 Turbos.

The manifold is made out of SUS304 Hi-Grade Stainless to help disperse heat. This manifold is drag-race quality, and similarly design manifolds can be found on professional drag cars. Manifold has flange for an external wastegate. And since this manifold is tubular steel, it flows better than cheap cast iron and is less prone to cracking
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Thats what they say...I really don't care for the bling bling, but it is a good price.

okay let me give you the run down on that mani.

Its crap.
your better off getting something else. I love my inline pro.
you can get a log mani really cheap, or evan a DIY log mani and weld it your self, or have someone else weld it for you, hell I would be willing to..

I dont understand, whats wrong with that manifold? He isnt lying about the stainless steel construction, and it does disperse heat better than a cast iron manifold. It looks tig welded or at least mig welded, it might seem like a cheap price but i looked on ebay and he has a lot of auctions for those, he might be able to sell them cheaper because he has a lot of them. My advice would be to see if you can't email someone who has one, to see if they like it, if they do then buy one if you have some money to play around with. If not then buy a brand name, but find out some info first.

That manifold is ***-tastic.

This statement is just flat-out made-up. It's completly false.
