Cx racing thick walled tubular t3 manifold

I completely understand the reason to avoid china manifolds lol. It's hard to know if the batch that your buying from is decent quality material or utter garbage. It appears to be better quality then the shorty manifolds out. And the listing states 304 stainless. List price is $450. I don't want to be the guinea pig on this. For that price a known reputable fabricator like Abe can make a reliable manifold. Might be worth a shot if the quality is durable and will hold up to abuse well.

I still think its legit and will work at least for a few years without any extra bracing. Its from the American development portion of CXracing that makes other pimpy looking manifolds for cars and tons of decent looking v8 swap kits. There's like two lines of stuff from CXracing. The shitty normal ebay stuff and the designed in the USA made in china stuff that is pretty darn decent.
And to be fair there still wasnt any info in those threads and if he'd bumped either one you all'ed be up his ***.

that looks like it would be a nightmare for a downpipe fab and the intake would be pointing straight into the headlight motor on NA's.
if there is a picture of one on, I wouldn't mind seeing to re-evaluate.

I don't think its fair to compare the two manifolds considering one is a top mount long tube and the other is a side mount axial. Abe also makes top mount long tubes and they are significantly more expensive that $500 shipped. Lets keep it apples to apples. I am not saying that this CX racing one is necessarily on par with Abe's manifolds in either flow or durability but we really don't know unless someone tries one. I would like to see more constructive discussion about this manifold then nut hugging on Abe and shitting on CX racing because of their ebay ****.
