Anyone have experience with RS2 manifolds on currently ebay? There are cast manifolds as well as tubular headers and both types are pretty inexpensive compared to aftermarket sources. How do these compare to the stock manifold or an OEM RS2? My small block Chevy roots tell me that headers usually flow better, but I am highly suspicious of anything that seems too cheap...you usually get what you pay for.

on his Ur with a 30r, runs in the 12s I think. He said they need machining to work and if you can't get that done for cheap or free it won't be worth it. Bram on s2forum ran the cast and said it worked fine, you have to grind some of the wg port but that's it. He switched it out when he went gt3071 because he didn't want to choke the turbo but he never really knew if it would or not. Looked a lot better than stock, maybe on par with stock rs2
