Wow, thats a pretty decent deal there. Looks nice too.
Kinda wish I didn't have a GT Pumps manifold already.

[nk]

apparently those cheap ebay manifolds are prone to cracking.. if you guys decide to do a group buy on fp exhaust manifolds (and maybe the intake pipes) i'd be interested!

[evopwr]

What I'm saying is this is the same manifold as the Driven Perfomance NZ manifolds, which have been successfully used before. If you compare the above to a typical ebay manifold, this is light years ahead in terms of wall thickness and bracing.

If this was another chinese POS manifold I wouldn't want to do a group buy on it.

for 170+post to nsw; I'm in.

[evopwr]

sweet as, 1st post updated with interested parties!

[Benno84]

Keen but was hoping to get one with a external gate is there any different ones he has?

[evopwr]

Not sure mate, best check his ebay website if he has ext. wastegate ones. But that said I don't think the discount will apply to different items. I'll check though.

Im in if this will fit on a vr4

something like that one maybe

[evopwr]

I'll ask the seller, but as I mentioned before I'm not sure if there will be a discount on it. You might be able to get it for list price + cheaper freight though

[nigel_a]

count me in! l0oks pretty neat.

[andy's-galant]

Silly question earlier from me, wether or not it fits a vr4 or not, of course it will
Im in aswell, any rough estimate on when we will be going ahead with this?
I hope it doesnt crack....
Everyone that grabs one of these make sure to keep your old mani's just incase

[Fugitiv]

If this is the same as mine (which it looks like + mine is from u.s of a) it will require slight mod's to fit the VR4 head. Bottom right bolt hole is pretty tight, needing adjustment.
I just got the old circular file out and fixed this problem.

All this concern for the manifold cracking!? It's so cheap you should buy two and if one does crack after a period of time, throw it out and replace it with your spare!!!

I'm bleeding - I got one of these from Driven Performance and paid much more than what Alex is saying he can get them for.

[BillyBoBBizWorth]

Hey guys, i would be interested to, just wondering if they will bolt to a 4g61t head and turbo, then i would be in for one myself?

Cheers

[andy's-galant]

Thanks fugitiv, that easily done, im in..

[OLDIE]

I hate to spoil your party group buy BUT seriously while it looks nice and shiny and bling do you realy think that this is a quality product at that price??
ANY manifold be it SS or SP with a lifetime guarantee is app 1k aud

[ENGINR]

Again: I think people should STOP raising the issue of how cheap and therefore crap the manifold "will" be....

Yes - it's cheap. Yes - everybody here should be aware that in most circumstances you get what you pay for. However, we should also be aware that if you "never give it a go, you'll never ever know".

Refer below....

lol... just hope it doesnt break apart in 2 weeks though. The side wall thickness is a good thickness but tis the welds that count too. See if the guy can tell you exactly where its made from. If its Thailand then thats one of the good ones.
