if you guys read the full race website carefully it says their manifolds are custom made to order, im 100% sure that one is made in house by full race. ---

> Greddy Manifold was from a guy BomexS13 on Zilvia. He owns a business and did the best price shipped to Canada ($440usd) Obviously, the above manifold came from Full-Race directly Was the intake for an s13 or s14? Also did he sell it to you for $440usd shipped? How much did you get nailed for on duty/brokerage? ---

on the topic of the intake manifolds; the knock-off manifolds are proven to dyno the same as the Greddy’s and they weight less. neat eh? ---

I think the weight loss is as a result of the huge holes in the casting 😉 Yeah - the knock offs are pretty good. I’ve seen a few have issues but definately one of the safer bets. ---

You get what you pay for. Stuff like SSAutoChrome’s junk may work just as well but how long will it last for (their products are known to “randomly fail”) I would rather buy ONE good part than buy knockoffs and having to replace them all the time because they are built with shitty materials/processes. ---

A lot of people on here simply cannot afford to spend something like $900USD on a manifold. Simply because they can’t justify ever making the most use out of it or using it to its full potential. These so called knock-offs or cheap/mass produced parts let them get a little benefits over stock setup, without spending too much money. Me on the other hand, I could afford Full Race, but I’m just too brown. :o And I’m at a point where I really don’t know whether I can justify spending that kind of cash. Guess we’ll find out if I am the master of my own (and my SR’s) demise. 🤣 ---

Knock offs entered this discussion when we started talking about Intake Manifolds…not Full-Race That being said, currently right now there is no knock-off externally gated bottom mount manifolds. Believe me, if I had more manifold options I may not have gone Full-Race…but for what I want/need…they are the only game in town. ---

blah i was just saying… people call them Freddy (as opposed to Greddy) manifolds…lol the guy i bought my ECU off of ran 386wrhp with one. cant argue with that build quality is subjective anyways. here is a graph of a car before and after on the FReddy intake mani… ![http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/8085/intakemanidyno8ra.png](http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/8085/intakemanidyno8ra.png) anyways, i dont wanna keep bumping knock-offs because apparently i’m mr. knock-off now but i do think that the “u get what u pay for” speech doesnt hold water. ---

Dan could you post a pic of the inside of the runners on your greddy manifold before you install it?? Curious to see how the casting looks. ---

I can, but I’m afraid the images will no longer show you what you want to see. I gave the manifold to Fireball as well to get coated and I’m sure they will coat the inside too. Any issues/holes with the casting will be filled and the runners will most definately be smooth. But, we’ll see.
