If they had used a good alloy (like he uses for his RS2 EVO manifolds), the price could not be as low as it is on ebay.

      Right, so the internals are crap and the material should crack but it's cheap and looks good ... I think I'll try an STR if at all.

        I have this manifold on the Coupe ,£140 delivered to the door

        Wastegate studs were wrong thread and some of the holes for the EM studs were not properly drilled but that was it ..apart from that I am happy with it ..easy for me to fix...get what you pay for as they say but it will do for now
