K03 SS manifold

[jonnyblease]

I am currently pricing up a full exhaust system for my cupra. I have been looking at manifolds and stumbled across this one;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAT-IBIZA-93...s_SM?hash=item2555849532&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Its cheap enough just wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

Thanks

Jonny

This was covered recently. Personally I'd avoid like AIDS

034 Motorsport have a good price on K03 high flow manifolds at the moment: http://www.034motorsport.com/produc...ucts_id=784&osCsid=nq5bfulqnmakkoh5d3g4bbeqs7

If you order it through Issam in the INA trader's sub-forum on here it works out even cheaper too

Wont fit as its for a longitudinal engine. Ibiza, leon, TT, A3/S3, golf etc are all transvers mount.

That listing is for a longitudinal fitment. You need transverse

EDIT - I see I was beaten to it

thanks for your advice people i will give it a miss.

Just oout of interest what is so bad with the ebay special manifolds, surely they must be less restrictive than the stock manifolds?

Thanks again

opps my bad.

mate the ebay ones will crack peice of cake they look good but it wont last you long bud

You get what you pay for with these things. Buy cheap buy twice

That looks very similar to the Tig Art manifolds which weren't back purged and were prone to cracking on the welds and warping under excess heat
