Other than the wastegate flange changed to a greddy style, looks exactly like all the made in china ones.

all the other chinese ones are made of smaller thinner pipe, no? the only thing that held me back from buying a tubular manifold was that it could crack, but this one seems to be made better? the guy even gives a lifetime warranty against cracking.

the guy is in australia, but the exchange rate works out to be something like 112 for shipping, and its the same(or close to) price on the SS auto chrome. damn, if i only had cash, a T4, and 89 ECU and harness from a turbo...

It's all the same parts!

They ALL come from China it's just an Aussie distributor!

Nothing is made here and if it is it'd be 10x the price due to the hourly rate....

And Yes I trust my Made In China Header 100%.

Too bad none of those pictures of the manifold are on a supra. From what I see most are installed on RB engines. IDK the details of the other ebay brand manifolds, but if this one says it's made with thicker metal and offers a lifetime warranty, go for it. It surely beats paying big $$$$ for a custom manifold.

IJ - i didn't know that, all the ebay manifolds I've seen seemed to be thinner but I could be wrong, I'll email them again.

This one is made in china as well, that's basically what their website says now that I found it...

Lifetime warranty but having to ship to aussie land would suck... so i dunno LOL ... i know those LIPP guys are working on a cast manifold so I may just wait to see what they come up with. I missed a HKS manifold on ebay the other day that sold for $290 complete with the wastegate pipe and everything and I'm really kicking myself :(

Matt: I'd have to sit and think about it a lot runners v's firing order but I doubt it would have much of an effect.

I've seen plain Log Manifolds that have made impressive power when they had no right to!
(I just think the Turbonetics looks "nicer" ;) )

Carlo: I'm using the SSAC 321 Header here that I had coated and no signs of any cracks and it's been damn hot!
