Anyone ever use these nock offs? They look ok to use..I was thinking about getting one cause its like 200 bucks cheaper and I can easyly get it polished for better flow.. any pro's and con's?

and can you fit an s14 intake manifold on an s13?

Yeah i try and stay away from buyin knock offs but from what i heard..these manifolds are pretty much equal and when you buy the greddy one your pretty much buyin the name. If the greddy manifold did come down in price i would considering buying one.

well the reason Greddy manifolds are more pricey because its been tested over and over for performance and quality. Im pretty sure the knock-off will not do that they just copy off someone elses stuffs.

That's exactly the point of a knock off. To copy exactly someone elses design that's done all the R&D behind it, so the knock off company doesnt have to. My friend has one of these knock off intake manifolds. It fit fine, with no major problems. The only thing about these manifolds is the material seems to be a bit more porous than the Greddy's. He just had it powdercoated and it looks and works great.

Almost got it all. The other problem is the surface in the plenum. On the Freddy manifold, it's not as smooth as the Greddy. I ahve the Greddy sitting right next to me and to be honest, I don't think it's worth it. Get the knock off.

Negatory. If I were to sell it, I'd want what I paid for it. It doesn't make sense for me to lose money on it!
