i dont know if this manifold is ss-auto----- or not, info would be appreciated
also, if that ebay one is garbage, i'm looking for a nice log manifold if anyone would like some business.

id like to say its junk, because of the time it takes to hand weld a manifold, but i bought one of those cheap *** down pipes for my girls turbo beetle, it was like $80 and i have to admit it was a very nice piece

Nice, teg. What tires are those?
Oh and I own one of the original prototypes of that manifold. Got it from IowaTCoupe who worked with them to get measurements suited on it and it was handcrafted. I have yet to run it though.
I beginning to think that poor welds aren't a sole issue in cracking manifolds of log design, but rather the fact they flow horribly and hold massive amounts of heat which when cools does so in a higher range inducing cracks. In other words, logs lack flow, hold heat, crack easier. Just a guess.
