And no, the manifold is not the same.

Ours should not break. Nor will it vibrate and annoy you to death.

Why can't these Chinese bastards just use ******* mild steel instead of this junk stainless?? It'd cost the freaking same for them and it might actually make a longer lasting product!!!

You know I nearly bought one of these Ebay manifolds thinking if I added my own bracing to prevent cracking I could make it work. But I decided to go with a cast manifold for the durability (daily driver). After reading about all of the fit problems described above I am glad I did not go that route. Poorly fitting manifolds are a huge PIA IMO.
