Is there even such a thing??? lol

Generally cheap and quality dont come in the same sentence. Used would be the only way to pick up a nice manifold for less cost

Does it have to be Equal Length? What are you planning on using this car for? Plenty of nice mainfolds out there that aren't E/L that are semi-afforadable and still very nice manifolds.

If ist for drag racing then you shouldnt be trying to compromise performance for cheapness. If its a daily driven car and you play with it on weekends then a ramhorn or miniran would work nicely. Im running the cast SPA top mount on my car and i couldnt be happier and ive run top mount tubular and ramhorn and minirams before. id take my cast any day.

SLS has severely slowed production of their B-series manifolds. Nick is concentrating on Some other engines and turbo setups.

It will be "equal length" enough for his purposes if it is indeed drag racing. no worries there.
