More power to him I guess, he seems to be making a killing even though it seems a quite a few people know they're crap. I guess everyone wants to save a dollar, even i'm running an ssauto WG and bov. :P

actually the ssauto mani for nissan never breaks/cracks. only honda manifolds. word is he doesn't care for honda so he craps out on them to make u spend more money on buying another one... ive seen 100's of them used on ka24's and not 1 ever cracked. on some cars its recommended just not for honda's. not backin him up, jus from what ive seen.

ive seen the "bad" stuff all over the web, but the one i had a t3/t04b hangin from my z6 wasnt braced and it lasted for at least 4k or so miles. but pictures are worth a thousand words ive seen the damage, i think if he would spend the little amount more of money to back up his ----, maybe he would sell more because people would reccomened them for their price and strengh.
