i see perrin, mxp, ark, invidia, etc all over ebay... must be junk too then since it's sold on ebay? :D


This though is definitely chinese made which somewhat looks like an invidia q300 (at least the piping bends). Since in US people believe in brand names these are being sold as Manzo (naming in best chinese tradition as opposed to Monza) and the website was registrered like half a year ago.
As for the quality - I would think no one knows at this point, could be hit (for the price) or miss.
If you do buy it, pls leave a review.


PS for the price you might be better off buying used or another chinese made but already with good reviews exhaust like Tsudo.

^look at it, and the piping. Tell me it looks quality. Then look at the description/vehicle description...

@boxer 2.5 man, you're on crusade! LOL

i just stated pure info for the guy to make up his own mind. my opinion I added in PS, hopefully not being pushy a that. you though sound like a fanatic ;)

i think the tsudo is cheaper

No one will know if it's junk or not until someone tries to install it. The pictures can't tell you that. Some people will assume that because it's foreign and inexpensive it's garbage, but they have no more of an idea than anyone else, just a prejudice.
