Joe, Consider yourself lucky that you were able to buy repro manifolds at such a good price. They weren't making them when I was looking for MW manifolds a few years ago, so I paid $1350 for an original set and then had to have them acid dipped before I could finish them. Personally, I prefer the WOW factor, whenever I raise the hood, but then I'm not a serious racer....Brian Joeydahook9@xxxxxxx wrote: That's why I went with the repopped m/w's. Reliable, less maintnance and the wow factor. Maybe someone will do the test before I have to, but I spent like 750 for those manifolds and I just have to know.
