I dont have one, but the quality looks decent, and it has a support brace.

The only thing I wonder about is the primary length, it is a very unequal length manifold. Im wondering if its actually pulse tuned, or if it was just made to fit.

It's based off the Tomei expreme. It's suppose to increase the boost response. I wanted the Tomei Expreme also, but from what I've read, people don't seem to notice any difference in boost response.

ye thanks guys ...i posted on zilvia and got some good responses and some dumb *** dudes...but suppedly one dude got a top mount one from them and said the fitment was horrible and never got a response from them so he had to get it cut and re welded...so it looks like i wont be going with this...and ye i gues on zilvia if you dont buy the most expensive **** for your car you dont care about your car enough ...Quote:Originally Posted by el ocho Some of us arent rich.

Then find a new hobby. Making your car janky by buying ****ty, poor quality parts just proves you don't care about it enough to do things right.

so anyone with anything under the tomei expreme you dont care about your car and like making it junkie

I ran it for over 8 months. No cracking. Did over 400whp with the 2871R using it. Its a great buy. Its a cheaper copy of the Tomei manifold.

It can hold just fine; it all depends on the skill of the Tig welder. If it cracks, have someone grind it out a bit more (to relieve tension) and fill it in; then weld a brace on it. Any weld shop worth their salt can fix it for cheap.
