That caught my attention due to the scarcity of (affordable) aftermarket manifolds for us. To me, it smacks of SSA, but with that being the only pic I can't say. Am I just an idiot and this thing has been known about for forever by everyone? Has anyone tried it? How's the fitment and clearances and all that jazz? The price seems nice, but that's what makes me so wary...

Well the fact that it's in Australian currency and the location being Sydney tipped me off to that already, but thanks.

All the RB's manifolds are pretty much interchangeable, the only exception I've run into or heard of is mounting stock 26 manifolds on the 20/25 heads with the stock twins. They hit...

On a side not I don't trust thin walled non cast manifolds. I'm sure it might look nice but I don't know about them standing the test of time. Thats why I didn't buy one. I have had a turbo manifold crack on me before and the loss of power sucked and so did the smell.

That's what I was hinting at in my first post. Anyone know for sure? If it does I very well might be buying one soon.Oh, and that Wasabi site has no links, specs, pics, or prices for the mani. Only thing I could find at the very bottom was an RB25 mani (which I can only assume = this) coming at the end of the month...
