got mine about a week ago and went ahead and test fitted it while i was doing the gaskets on the stock one. Fitment is perfect, slides right in to the studs and every nut (aftermarket studs and nuts, forgot to try it with the big washers, sorry) goes on good, turbo doesnt hit anything, and it does come with the wg flange welded on.
On the other hand, their customer service is terrible. I emailed them through ebay to ask them if they did in fact have them in stock and if the wg flange came welded on, and after a few days of waiting for a reply all i get is a "yes we have it in stock"....
I also tried calling them at around 4pm. I explain my concerns to this lady on the phone and she puts me on hold, she comes back in a minute or two and tells me that it is kind of late already and all of their workers were loading everything going out that day and that they cant go check if they have any in stock, she then tells me that she can check the next day and give me a call back, which to me seemed kinda reasonable, except i never received that call...
But i still had a "yes" from their ebay seller, and i wanted it asap so i could do those gaskets on my stock one and test fit the cx one so i could return it on time if anything was bad, so i placed the order.
Shipping was fast, packaging alright.
First thing i notice when i start checking it out is the collector. It is cast iron i believe?? On all their pictures they show their collectors made of welded stainless steel pipe, they never mention it comes on this style, now i dont know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but they should mention it and update their pictures with their current design. Second, that runner on cyl 2 doesnt line up good with the collector, the rest of them seem just fine. The flanges dont seem to be flat, especially on the turbo flange, and the head to mani flange seems to be a little twisted, and i am sure the nuts and the gaskets will eliminate these problems, however i am getting mine resurfaced on all the flanges. I also dont believe this thing is a real equal length, anyone knows how to measure them? I know it is not as simple as measuring with a tape, i tried measuring it with a string putting it through every runner and they are all different, but i am sure that's not the proper way to measure it lol. The welds look just like your cheap manifold, cant complain there, they should last with proper brazing and exhaust hangers/brackets. One more thing, this thing is heavy, seems like the pipe used is in fact kinda thick.
All in all so far i am satisfy, i cant complain for a manifold of this price, im sure it'll flow much better than those 200 dollar ones, if i wanted perfection i'd go full race but i dont have 2k to throw on a manifold.
On to the good stuff.
