Repost because new posts were not showing up in the thread. I changed vehicles and changed a few parts of the build also, so I wanted a fresh start.

Why does everyone have to hate on the manifold. This isn't a thread for you people to come in and talk ****. It was the first thing I bought...over a year ago! I don't even think I'll be using it, but if I do it has already been rewelded in all of the areas that have a possibility of leaking as well as ceramic coated to lower temps coming off of it. Thanks to you for the good comments, but you people with all negative things to say please don't post in here again. Thank you.
That's due to trusting a certain company that used to be on Honda-Tech. **** cracked after a month so the welds got gobbed on the mani to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
I had a stage 3 XTD clutch in my EF with an LS swap and that thing grabbed right away and NEVER slipped, even when I didn't do the full break-in that I was supposed to do
Oh, just wait until you see the block/complete motor and the rest of the parts
I wish I would have realized how much money was involved in doing this though. If I did, I probably would have done an LS or GSR instead.
