Anyone out there that owns this manifold? I have seen a couple reviews for it but i want some feedback and facts about it. Does anyone know if the casting quality/materials are the same quality as the Stock OEM intake manifold? If i had a manifold in hand it would be easier for me to decide whether it was good quality or not.

Basically i am going to be using this manifold for a few months until i buy the Greddy one, I just want something to use for now that is NOT the stock intake manifold but im afraid of the quality not being good enough. I am also afraid that their might be a small piece of casting inside that would possibly break off and get sucked into the valves Sorry but i think like that. What do you think?

omega. you are making an incredible amount of silly threads lately. please cease this course of action, as simple searching would yield you great results.

i understand you have questions, but please try to answer them yourself, not relying on everyone else to just hand you info.

I know lol ive looked for numerous reviews ive only found two and neither of them talked about the quality of the casting compared to the stock intake manifold. Im basically wondering if its the same quality as the nissan oem one as far as casting and materials used...

What? Why? Why would you waste your time and money if you are going to buy the GReddy one anyway?

that doesn't make any sense. stick with the stock until you have all the money saved up for the greddy. no point in buying a manifold twice.

nissan oem > china cast gray market poopy

gray market will never reach the same quality materials and casting process. why are you SO eager to replace something that works fine? "high end powah"?
