Default Help identify exhaust manifold

Hi all,

I bought this used tubular exhaust manifold a while back - seemed like a good idea (maybe still is). I went on to put it on the engine I'm finishing building, though, and it appears to be a weird design - hangs much lower than I was expecting it to, so now I'm unsure if this one is worth putting on the car or if I should just stick to the standard (V4 turbo) with the VF34 I'll be running.

Does anyone recognize this from photos and/or can comment on the quality and whether I should use it?








Thanks,
Alex

That looks quite different to my RCM version or any other I've ever seen. It seems entirely the wrong shape, which is why it requires that very long up pipe instead of the much shorter correct one.

Thanks for the feedback.

Meh... I was hoping that since someone went through the trouble of ceramic-coating it, it would be a decent one

Looks exactly like the one here

I paid way too much ... Anyhow, back to the standard one for now.
