Any links Stu? Usually if you pay peanuts you get monkies but I've never even seen them or used so can't comment just going on previous personal experience. For that price you may as well try and tell us!

Yeah that's ridiculously cheap, worryingly cheap! Don't forget the VAT and shipping when you import but if your willing to be the test sheep then why not, if you have a MIG welder then happy days worth a go, make sure you let us know what happens! :)

No wonder there are material shortages in Japan Hong Kong have robbed the lot!

I've never understood why people have bought cheap manifolds on the basis 'if it cracks, I'll just buy another they are so cheap' or 'its so cheap I might aswell'.

Buy, cheap, buy twice...3 times....

I'd tend to agree with that statement. Cheap doesn't always mean tat, but exhaust components? You really do have to ask yourself if they're made from kitkat wrappers. Let's not forget, the manifold takes some serious abuse. It supports most of the weight of the turbo and has to withstand temperatures ~1100 deg C...

Well there the same as Dave Burwash has just started selling if no1 noticed they actually have an autobahn88 plate on them, shame the downpipe isnt braced but there a pretty reputable company.

I've ordered from them (silicon hoses) eventhough they say their products are zena racing they are actually autobahn88 products (probabbly the same people). The hoses were pretty good though.
