exhaust manifolds on ebay.

[turbodriver63]

just coursious about all the different exhaust manifolds for the i5 on ebay.co.uk.
theres a few chrome ones which look lovely but are probbably not up to taking a bit of tuning (correct me if im wrong) and then theres a few rs2 cast iron ones. are the cast ones genuine rs2 or not? and are they any good either way.
Im thinking for the future for my build, where i am aiming for 400bhp. just want to buy things once that wont need repairs or replacing after a year.

well I know few of my friends that were done a exhaust manifold at home... HOME MADE... and they drive drag race with this manifold and have 600+bhp

now I have one EM for 20vt at home and they have a few crack because friend drive it on 650 hp

this EM cost 400euro , it is not so bad... in some chases this chip EM don't have pretty final touch.... like expensive have..

big price is not garantie for extra quality...

the thing is what you want from this EM? do you want every day car with 400ps or 700ps for nurburgring ... ? spoke with your self

if 400 ps is enough for you - than take it...

i would be very happy with 400bhp in my car as an everyday driver. has anyone any personal experience with these cast manifolds on flee bay?

all i can say is ensure the flange is true before you fit it.

if not buy wagener or other reputable and tested.
