Looks identical to the japspeed one, what's the verdict? I need a new cat as mine is currently buggered, so I'm looking at going decat manifold and a high flow cat on the section after that. Also, I assume this will be ok for supercharged applications?
I had the following "problems" with the manifold and supercharger kit:
1. Branch 2 fouled the removable cradle bar.
2. There is a heat shield mount on the standard manifold that is used by the supercharger cradle which is missing
3. The lambda fouls the chassis leg.
Here is what I did to make the manifold "correct":
1. I had branch 2 cut and "moved" rearward so that the removable bar fitted.
2. Had a piece of metal added to the manifold and then drilled and tapped a hole so that became the missing cradle mounting point.
3. Had the lambda bung moved and the hole left filled so that the sensor didn't foul the chassis.
Even with this work the manifold is good value, my welder said the stainless steel was of good quality and he didn't have any problems working with it - he said that normally "cheap" SS manifolds can be made from low grade SS and this makes them hard to work with.
He also said that if he was asked to make a manifold for my car it would cost £600 to £800 so even with the modifications the eBay manifold is well worth the money.
