Default Private Label B series TopMount Manifold

Hello All,

Anyone in here running a private label top mount on their B series. I have been thinking about ordering one of these units but can't seem to find any pics of them installed. I am realy interested in pics or reviews if anyone has anything to share on these.

Thanks in Advance

Is "private label" a brand, or are you just talking about a private fabricator?

I've been on this site for a long time and i've never heard of them. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it isnt a common brand in my experience.

^^ I know PLM header designs are very nice, and very well made/fabricated.

ROFL, that's just too hilarious. May be sig worthy.

PLM are outsourced knockoffs, but they are decent quality considering they are outsourced knockoffs, or so I have heard. If you can't afford the real thing it's as good an option as any.

My kid's friend had bought a Hytech replica from them a while back and all the welds looked good. The merge collectors (4-2-2-1) were practically seamless. Honestly, For the price I was impressed. I would still rather have the real thing in any situation. I don't know much about the "company" though...

while everything PLM has done has been nothing but a rip off of a prior design, they have still managed to put out some of the best replica pieces i have seen at the lowest prices. Unlike a bisimoto product you will get exactly what you order.

i bought a RMF replica narrow header form them last year through kidd racing back before he got shut down, as he was merely a drop shipper for them, and the product i got was excellent, and still on my car and rust free.

The welds on this manifold ^^ look good, but the first manifold pictured didnt look very impressive. The welds look like they weren't prepped/cleaned much beforehand...then again, i'm a bit OCD

NA headers and Turbo manifolds are just two different things that will see different temperatures. Comparing the turbo manifold to a NA header is just comparing apples to oranges, even if it's "made by the same company."

My point was, PLM does actually do quality work. Although they are knockoff's/Replica's, they are the most well made replica I have seen, especially for the price.
