like the title says, what is your input on this top mount manifold? i figured if its cast iron you dont have to work as much as a ss manifold with cracking. all input is welcome unless you are going to say "you get what you pay for" or "thats junk because its not full race"

i want to hear from people who have used it or atleast held one.

I don't really see how it can fail. I might have to try it out and see how it is

i mean material wise, i dont see how a cast iron could have a problem with cracking. i want to know if anyone has used it or had a friend who used it.

idk, not sure your gonna find anyone on this forum using that.... casting quality is probably very poor, BUT it is pretty cheap for iron, buy it and review it for us. Maybe it fits great?!

porosity in the casting, shitty melt (impure) used for the casting, imperfections, inclusions, voids, etc.

improper V/A ratio hahaha

Anyways, material-wise, you can't just judge it based on the fact that it's cast -> strong.

I've never held one, and probably never will, so take that however you want.

Be ready to weld cracks and repair and reinforce in the near future. You never know, though. It might last longer then you expect. There's only one way to find out.

you could prob spend like an extra 50-75 more and get a megan mani or isis. Not much better, but at least they will have more feedback
