Ahh I see, I can see how it would interfere with the head, although it should work as a bottom mounted manifold then anyway, if room allows it too,
I can see that the downpipe might be at a hard angle clearing the firewall
asubimmer how about measuring the thickness of the pipes?
Jon they are mostly cheap because they are greatly mass produced,
All those ssautochrome manifold and xs power are all made in the same factory. So it´s a factory that just makes manifolds probably around the clock even
I have seen one of those ebay units on a Nissan, and even after a few years of abuse it still hasn´t cracked yet, although the chrome is fugly now but the manifold remains intakt and the turbo wasn´t braced to the motor but hanging from the manifold with the exhaust hanging on it as well,
What I hear is that there quality has gone up, but not enough so all manifolds give the same results, some give great lasting while others don´t make it down the street, all coming from the same place and looking identical
