        I agree!

        Look at the weird machining around the bottom bolt holes on the flange where the #2 runner attaches to the head. Audi doesn't do it that way.

          Fake, look at the boltholes for the WG... No where near centered.

              Look at the state of collector, no way that's genuine. My knock off is much tidier.

                  Yes same numbers as oem but look at the space between the audi rings and the part number and bolts are also not inluded. That´s a different.

                      100% FAKE FAKE FAKE.

                      noticed the build quality, nothing near the Genuine parts.
                      i can judge it with the first photo.

                            My old Urs4 had a copy manifold.
                            Ran fine, was a pig to fit though, you have to shorten more of the studs down than the usual 2 for a genuine one.
                            There's virtually no room in some places to get a nut on.
                            I wouldn't pay more that £100 for one.
