cheap! manifolds on ebay

[s2_southwest]

i might have already missed this post before, but are these cheap manifolds on ebay any good? looking at them they have to be better than the standard one, even for the looks they are dirt cheap. so has anyone tried them?

I have that manifold in my workshop right now for facemilling all gasket surfaces.
The quality looks very good.
Welds looks very nice.

They tend to crack often , so get the welding gear out.

How old is this one? And how many miles until the first crack?

[Faheemo]

Cracks about every 3 months or so, and my car is a weekend only car, running 400 plus hp thou.

Decided to go the DIY route .... with shed 40 bends.
1st time argon welder ...

Need to clean the welds up with grinder ...

Didnt cost me too much, just alot of time trying to figure out how to mock up and weld correctly.
