Greddy intake manifold knock off

[adrianfromthecastle]

u get wut u pay for, its just a crappy cast knock of of greddy, i think someone they said it had huge casting seams and yadda yadda

but then ive seen real greddy intake manifolds with the same problems, casting seams and leaks... but then again, greddy has great customer service and will replace any factory defects...

ok boys the pics will be on later on today/tomorrow. I installed the manifold on my old busted head. The fit was pretty seamless. I had to ream 2 holes. That was it. I promise to have this pic up and on here by tomorrow.

The main difference in these manifolds are Greddy is ver controlled when casting and their product is flow tested. Im sure the knock offs work just fine but other ebay aluminum castings have been known to have large pits in them, leak, not fit correctly and have a very ruff surface that actually will rub off some. Id be affraid of sucking some of the residue off the casting into the motor. Clean the thing out first with water and high pressure air.

Go get it media blasted is more like. Its cheap insurance... Plus makes polishing it easier later.

I agree with blown 240sx... If the casting is able to flake/chip off easy man.. That **** could ruin/damage your motor good. Quality is Quality... im not confident that the knock off has this.

Or it could be like some SSAC manifolds, reem out a bolt hole and it bolts up and works. or its just plain $hitty and will crack or flake off... PIX!

I think its Tomorrow now, soo whr are the pix?

lol. it's chillin at my mom's place collecting dust with my old busted head attached to it. I'll swing by tomorrow. i kid you not when i say it's a pretty good knock off for fitment. Now for casting. It has some issues that paint will cover right up.

Dang I thought you were about to try it on running motor. still pics would be great. my main concern would be the intake to head flange being flat. what exactly did you have to "modify" to get it to bolt right up? how much did you end up getting it for ? what seller and how long did it take to ship to you? Keep us posted
