Simple, you get what you pay for

Lots of stories of cheap ebay manifolds with cracked welds and leaking joints etc.

not all ebay manifolds are rubbish,you just need to know what you are looking for before you buy.there are some good quality ones advertised on ebay but just be carefull as they might look like a bargain untill british customs bang there charges ontop as they do with a lot of things coming in from other countries.

If buying from E Bay have a look at the seller's rating. A high number of sales and a 100% rating are a good sign. Also read the feedback from the buyers relating to the items your are interested in.
