    Thats dirt cheap.

    Whats the quality really like though ?

    A mate of mine brought a cheapy one for his 2.5 Skyline engien and tbh although its probably better than the standard one its not made very well at all.

    Quality is much improved upon the ebay specials of a few years ago. The design has been revised. Bore diameter is better suited, pipes are now mandrel bent where possible unlike the welded sections the design used to have, manifold to turbo flanges are flat(no longer need to skim them before fitting).

    The finish inside is also much improved, no nasty bits of weld ready to fall off into your compressor.

    I was weary after hearing of their dodgy reputation in the past, but for £90 i took the gamble and was throughly impressed for the money. If it cracks, i'll buy another one.

    Nope you have to cut the flange off and weld a LET one on. It will also require heating and bending of the runner to get them lined up correctly. Not a bit job at all and for that price a very good manifold imo.
