I know ebay mani's are yunk..... but?

[DGmk3]

Has anybody had any luck with any of them? I'm looking at possibly getting the meagan racing one.

I've had a Ebay mani on my SR wrapped for almost 3 years now. No support bracket either, and it's held up fine. If you're looking for power gains, I would just get your stock mani extrude honed.

i have seen these kind of threads a million times, did you search?

[ms!3]

hit or miss.

[SlowCoupe]

been running mine for at least 4yrs.

extrude honing is F**KN expensive! but then again, its like impossible to crack a cast iron manifold

[redsx13]

I have a megan on my car right now, its not bad. but i can almost guarantee you that the mating surface on the mani between the mani and the block will not be flat though. i had to get mine machined flat.

also, the gaskets that come with it are complete shit! you will need an s15 one.

if you do end up going with one, do yourself a favor and bring it to a machine shop and just have them check it with a straight edge (if you have a straightedge you can do it yourself) i had to pull everything off again because i had a leak, and it is a bitch!!!!

[punxva]

yeah its usually either hit of miss, mine was fine until i slammed the downpipe on the ground which cracked mine on my ka-t.

[Monooxide]

I didnt get my Megan machined nor anyone I know who has one and they've been fine.

I had mine for roughly a year and now I ditched it but it never let me down, the studs it comes with for the turbo were pretty sub-par but thats just me.

mr gasket copper FTMFW.....im probably gonna end up grabbin up a megan or XS mani for a friend here soon....1 year and a few months on his car with no problems. And for <$100 you really cant beat it, even if it does fail down the road

[Z33dori]

mines held fine.....
OEM nissan 3 layer MLS gasket
no support bracket
now header wrapped


and if it cracks... who cars it was cheap buy another or weld it back

i've seen way more knock off top mounts crack, not so much bottom mount ones

[DGmk3]

Awesome guys well I'm gonna pick one up then... Has anybody noticed and gains like spool up or top end from these?

[Flicktitty]

i know ALOT of supra guys run the XS power ones off ebay. and they fit pretty well alot of people have 20K miles on there kits. i'd rock it.

[mystacarlo]

i have an xs power manifold and elbow, and havent had any complaints, the car pulled harder up top and he exhaust sounded much better, no tracking even without the support bracket, i jus wish it stayed goldish/anodized blueish, but now its dark purple

is this for an SR or a KA? I got a SSAC top mount for KA that I'm trying to get rid of if you want it.

[redsx13]

I would check it with a straight edge any way, it takes a second, and may save you a lot of time.

[kalypso123]

my friends have a 2j, they've been using an ebay manifold with a gt40 for about 2 years,
no problems...

but im still a little suspect about them... for whatever reason.
