I promised to keep this updated. The manifold cracked at the track with 31 days of use. :y

The second mani is absolute crap. Do a seach for SSAutochrome, it's the same prone-to-cracking piece of ---- manifold you see all over ebay.

then what manifold do you recommend that it be comptible with AC/PS ?
