Just wondering if any1 has tried one of the inlet manifolds off Fleabay?
There "only" about £200, but just wanted to know if any1 has tried them, and what is the fit like regarding vacume pipes and the such. This is not for my car its for my bro and he's not really earning enough to justify spending over 500 sheets on a mantzel. These won't obviously be as good but just looking for any opinions on them! Its for a sport, x14xe.
Cheers for any responses 
p.s. don't know if the link and pics will work don't post very often

they look ok for the money but a lot of the bodged ones have fallen apart.

simplyfies the air flow from the intake and makes the car much more responsive from 4k rpm!!

as above, mainly simplify's the airflow route, so instead of going in the filter all round the back on the engine, and to the tb on the other side, it goes from filter stight to tb on same side of engine

Nice.
Looks like it may be worth 200 sheets then. although i might wait a week or so and see what Dave A's manifold is like.
