I bought this "greddy" intake manifold from a seller here , he said he has a greddy intake manifold. so i went for it , I just got it today and first thing i noticed is that is missing the greddy logo on the top, so pretty much looks like the ebay one and i paid for a real one
let me know

the sticker doesnt come on it, its seperate and you have to stick it on.

from the look of it, it looks reall. the runners and the inside are pretty clean,

most ebay ones look like crap.

The runners on the S13 are longer than the S14 manifold. It looks real because the inside is smooth. Not jagged and rough like the Freddy.

yes its true sticker does not come on it.

You have special order them if you want it though.

So it sucks losing them.

the inside is way cleaner and smoother than any freddy i've ever seen. my real greddy looks about the same.

Looks real to me too. Ebay mani's don't look that smooth.

I think he's being a dumbass by comparing an S13 SR20DET manifold to an S14 SR20DET manifold... :loco:

Anyways, that looks real enough to me. Like already stated, if you look at the inside, it looks alot smoother and doesnt have a lot of loost cash hanging around the edges. Thats whats the difference between the Greddy quality casting vs the Freddy ones.

LOL I know right. I was just curious bro's . This is my first greddy manifold. Don't think the seller that sold me this wants to do some like that since he's a big one here . I was just checking .

we've taken the sr freddy's next door to our machine shop and had them flow test them, and they actually flow just as well, seriously (as long as the one you get doesn't have the fubar intake porting).

as far as the freddy's for the rb engines. accept no substitute, get the real deal is my advice

the GReddy sticker comes in the instruction manual when you buy a real one , as well as all the hardware and TRUST hoses and fittings needed

the sticker's never stick very well so you gotta glue them bitches on there lol.

gl with it, looks good to me sir
