:o Thats awesome, wonder if they'll actually hold together for that price though.

they dont look custom made, they look factory just painted green. they look cast items.

they just look like cleaned up stock ones.

I'd say #2 would be proof there custom made

If they do the Split-pulse design ones, then you will have an extra incentive for buyers wanting bolt-in performance upgrades on top of just replacing their cracked manifolds.

mrb1, you could possibly chase up where they got these ones manufactured and see about the split-pulse design ??

If they are new it looks more like they have used the original as a mould and made their own. I'm pretty sure that that green is actually the colour of the metal. I vaguely remember from my materials lecture at uni a mention of the different form of cast irons, grey, green, white. Can't remember if it is any good for manifolds, have to take a look at the textbook.

By the way would there be that great a benifit on using the lower mount manifold or is that designed for the cordia's. Would it fit on the RWD setup cause it would probabally help a little with exhaust flow from the dump pipe being shorted and with larger radius bends. Don't know how it'd be with cooling though.

Mates I really think these are NOS (New-Old Stock) Now HOW the hell they ended up here stateside I have NO IDEA.

But YES the one with the turbo facing DOWN may well be for a FWD set-up and the one with the turbo pointing UP will be a RWD set-up.

I dought the seller made any more as he looks to be a "Parts Liquidator" rather than a manufacturer.

Good luck to anyone who can use these.

looks like the bottom mount one is off a cordia!

Sure is - looks identical to the one sitting in my lounge room.
