i've been looking at some ebay manifolds for a custom turbo kit i had in mind. they look pretty high quality but are only around $100. now i know about all the fake ricer shyt out there on ebay, and i've heard a few good horror stories about it. but i go to other civic forums with guys building homemade turbo kits for around $1000 w/ ebay manifolds. should i spring for a cheepo ebay manifold or save up for a legit one or even a full turbo kit?

 

take it from experience get a legit full turbo kit maybe greddy or hks, i dunno any brand name they will honor you with a warranty unlike ebay and are common, in my opinion ebay is good but only when buying brand name parts not knock offs, remember you get what you pay , and maybe guys can build their own turbo kits with the ebay manifold butfind out how long it lasted them

 

just get a cheap cast iron manifold and then you wont have any problems with it cracking

 

cast FTW! those are some awesome manifolds, no matter what brand it is!

 

im running a obx stainless steal header on my d-series almost 11 months now and havent had one problem with it cracking. looks beautiful and performese damn good to.
