Always see these on Ebay, and they seem very cheap. Complete waste of money or worthy investment? Someone on here must have one, quite fancy one if they are half decent...

Looks a bit nasty to me.

Compare it to the likes of Jackson Racing. Well made, nicely welded and proven.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Looks very badly welded.

If thats the best one they have to show off I would be very afraid.

Chinese stuff is a lottery due to their poor quality control - some are good many aren't.

So are you feeling lucky ?

So one to avoid then? I've not really got any idea how much a decent manifold should cost, or where to get one from. Anyone got any links to any proper ones?
