Default Ebay Ram Horn manifold

Hi,
I was looking on ebay and there is a guy that is selling his home made ram horn manifolds ac/ps compaitble, they are made out of 54W Mild Steel and hes after $229 for them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Has anyone every used this manifold or basically do you think i should go for it or not?

Thanks

Chris

Not really. If he can't get the heat he needs in 1-2 passes, 10 passes is just adding on top, not giving anymore penatration. ESPECIALLY with mig.

And by the looks of the welds, he didn't get the heat!!!!
