yo.. i brought a cheap crap stainless steel manifold off of ebay. for £100 i knew it wouldnt be great as it was so cheap but its been on the car 3 weeks done about 200miles and its cracked around 2 of the welds and the plate that bolts onto the head is warped like a banana . wil add pics (too dark to see atm) so would recomend to anyone to not buy this sh*t ! so need to get a new 1 on there quick ... was looking at race-tech what do you lot think of them any better or will they crack too?..... also thinking of a de-cat will i need to get it maped? or will it run ok on standard ecu? y
