I love how this manifold always pops back on the radar due to it's price. Is it better than stock? not IMO even an rs2 replica is better than this thing
I had one of those manifolds it came with the engine when I bought it. It was shocking, not something I would put on my car. Its also some strange kind of stainless becasue the one I had was rusting...
Is it better than stock if you think about flow? Propably yes. Is it better than stock if you think about durability and reliability? No it's not. These cheap china manifolds usually cracks very easily.

Define flow, a manifold with oversized runners just gives you lag but because it's bigger it must flow better
This thing sucks more than the twilight movies
Define oversized runners. Can you give technical data of the increasing lag, stock vs. this?
Flow... maybe how much hp it can handle without restrictions..? There is nothing wrong with the runner- and the collector design on that manifold, the trouble is the material.

Ask your mate prj the great sage
And see the post by g60rallye
I've seen this thing in the flesh
People want to use it for price only as it lacks 0 quality
I totally agree about the quality. I got one of these in my urs when I bought it, and soon the wastegate flange welding cracked... But the runner size is about the same as any pro made tubular manifold, and the design is also almost the same. So, how much power can a pro tubular manifold handle? This would handle the same amount for a while until it cracks. I would never use a stock AAN manifold on a high power setup, all runners are different size in it and it's quite restricting. This manifold is ok for the money, but you have to repair weld it any here and then.

So, design is OK, that's what I need to know. Ok, about quality, I know that it's China , but this is weekend car so it will be more than enough for 2000km/year

Is it better solution than stock AAN EM, for RS2 setup?
You'd need a custom downpipe and a manifold / turbo support so in this case regardless of the quality of the item, I think OEM is better for an RS2 based set-up as its plug and play.
