Just Recieved EBAY Manifold!!! MUST READ!

[InfiniteGSX]

Well after all the photos I've seen and fitment issues I've heard about... I have been sketchy about what manifold to use for my car. Right now the BudJET Eclipse's manifold has arived from ebay and it my friends, is a real peice of work! Anyone who digs the easy simple log style manifolds, this is a manifold for you! ITs small, cast, wicked flow and no fitment issues WHAT SO EVER! no needing to be cut near the water housing. No redrilling, no nothing! I just bolted it up and ran the car without turbo to burn all the oil off of it and its amazing! Photos will be posted up here in the next few minutes when I get my palm pluged up. So stay tuned!

Ebay company that sold me the manifold and has more will be recieving about 5 more orders from me for this manifold just to have around! Shipped price was 193! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=260047730030&rd=1&rd=1

Shipping was FAST, packaging was pretty good. No physical damage to manifold or shipping package. Good Price! Great Product! Will do buisness with again! A++++++++++

This is the manifold I am planning on going with as well. Glad to hear it is nice and fitment is good. Xmasta, I believe, got this manifold as well, but I haven't heard if he liked it or not. Any pics of it?

Here are the photos, its pretty damn schweeeeeet!
The manifold is actually nicer then what is posted on the ebay site. So that is a +

This is the only guy that I've seen selling the treadstone on ebay other than that JDM guy. This seller says his is "twice the weight" of the china one, and not as porous as the "cheap one"

So, how much did it weigh and was it porous (looks decent to me)? Or are these just lies.

I guess Xmasta got his on the 4'th, I also want to hear what he has to say about it.

Well I took some pics of DSMCrazy3's Treadstone manifold and they look exactly like that. Same looking material. Guess that is my next purchase

from that photo on ebay you linked, that treadstone manifold looks crapy compared to this one... but who knows. the ebay photo of mine looks like crap also. The weight is like 10lbs to 15lbs I'm guessing. I'll pull it off and throw it on the scale. The quality to me, looks very professional. It comes coated with a black ceramic coating and some oil to keep rust away, so I ran the car for a few to burn off the oil and it cooled off as a nice cast look.

My personal opinion, the cheap one I bought is worth it. well worth it. The shape of it is sweet! I dunno, I'm just massivly excited!

Well that's good to know... congratulations! I must say, it looks pretty nice.

Now, the real test will be in the longevity. It all depends on the relative wall thickness and the cast metal alloys.

Plus 1 Looks aren't everything, but I'm glad to hear your happy.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Agreed! Looks aren't everything. But like you said, its a plus 1 so far because of instead of spending 300 bucks for a real treadstone shipped, this was 193 shipped. So we'll see how long they last.

I have tons of pics too...and oh yeah, mine is ceramic coated bishes hehe. Was gonna make a new post about the progress of my car last night, but of course I couldn't get her started. I will be at it again tonight, and definitely posting the load of pics that I have of everything going on...

... +1 for this manifold fo sho

 

[InfiniteGSX]

yeah the ceramic coating... they come with the stuff on it so it wont rust... this manifold is all sorts of yummi! Everyone that's looked at it has said it either gets them hard or wet hehe... But my Projector headlights just showed up so I gotta go install the HID's in them and put them on my car. Will post more photos as things progress.
