I got one and its a copy of the greddy intake manifold.

if you say you get what you pay for then you get a greddy for 1/2 the priceits a piece of metal for Christ sakes. i guess some of us will pay $300 more just to have the Greddy sticker on a piece of metal.

I say go for it, i got one and i was satisfied and still cannot believe that people pay $700 for an intake manifold

Ditto.

How many times do we have to cover this same topic? This is beginning to rival the catch can thread.

i can see the difference in quality in the flashing and where it bolts to the head, it looks like theres a big pit by the first runner bolt and the runner looks a bit deformed. the rectangle name plate looks bad too. buut hey, for $200 you can afford the work to actually make it fit! just keep the stock one in there if you're not going to get quality. i have seen some, plazma man comes to mind, and others, where it uses the stock bottom runners and bolts up making the intake on the same side as greddy. but not sure about pricing.

here is my take on this

IF you can get a real greddy trust me its worth it, I have an ISIS and I love it, but the fit and finish of the greddy is there for a reason, it costs twice as much,

for some people, thats worth it, for some it isnt.

But I will say this, if your going go to the route of not the actual part, trust me, get the ISIS, the I absolutely love it, you wont have massive flashing problems like the other "recreation" manifolds, and on top of that, if something is wrong, Ken down there will take care of you.
