Is this a good idea for a Turbo manifold?

Thumbs down Is this a good idea for a Turbo manifold?

I found this, yes ebay, ( leave me alone ) I have made plenty of cars with Ebay parts and guess what non failed. I don't put Ebay waste gates or turbo's on my cars, but I use inter coolers, and piping, and sometimes exhaust manifolds.

Wow, so you get all the problems of an equal length manifold without it actually being equal length. Great!

Seriously, that has to be the junkiest looking manifold I have ever seen.

Im not to impressed. I think a log manifold would be best. I am just keeping my options open for now.

I think obx actually makes a ramhorn style mani. I'm not saying to purchase it but its design looks much better then that. I would be very weary of the welds, and the quality of the steel used in those pieces though.

Yeah i tried to look into there full race replica. The only thing i found was that one member tried it and the manifold cracked.


I would not buy any of there manifolds. It's not worth the headache of taking it on and off every time your manifold cracks... If you want to go turbo and stay on a budget go with a log.

Nothing wrong with being "thrifty", but if you are already looking for ways to cut corners, modding an s2000 isn't for you man.
