wwoooooooooooooooo finaly i got a manifold, and 25 squid cannot grumble at that.
yes its cracked but i do work in an office of a sheet metal fabrication company so can easily get it sorted  very happy indeed, it was the purpose of the whole what engine thread yesterday, didnt want anyone to find it on the bay and bid it up as he had listed it very poorly tbh haha once again very happy.
you think its worth it? am i looking at any increases in sound or power? car had 82.9 when it was on daves dyno

emailed the seller he sent back
Hello,
Yes it's a performance manifold.
When i had it fitted to my car it definitely made it feel a lot more responsive but i can't give any figures because i never had it on a rolling road.
It sounds pretty awesome because there's no cat, and you'll get a nice gargle from it too.
i am happy with this as proof, if it turns out hes lying i have his words. but he has very good feedback soo

theres a massive amount of design and testing that goes into making manifolds. its not as easy to chop bits out and stick them back together. look at the pro-tec manifolds, they look good, quality is good but we saw massive drops in bhp and torque when fitted and tested on the dyno.

Stainless doesn't usually get surface rust like that either.
