Manzo/eBay equal length headers. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I saw these Manzo headers on eBay up for auction and no one was bidding on them so got em for 30 something, retail is 260.I couldn't find any actual review over them or any good pictures so I figured hey it's literally dirt cheap might as well see. I've know some people who have had luck with eBay headers on other platforms, so here they are.

Welds are 6/10 as in they are good in some places and laughable in others like the collector.

The flanges are not perfectly flat not sure if that'll be an issue. Not even sure if I'll try to put them on. The O2 sensor plugs have massive burs that were not cleaned off and there is metallic dust all in the inside

Not gonna lie, the CNT looked way better than that and I've had it on for two years now and it was originally around that retail price. Now they've gone up to $400 with a better fit and finish. There's probably something to be said if it ends up not requiring RTV to get it to not leak and if it fits well.

Ive been running those Manzo headers on my street car and my track car for a couple years. No leaking or problems what so ever. They were around $250 when I got them. Cant complain.

It's common for Chinese exhaust pieces to have warped ears, they don't clamp anything down while welding pieces. Take a straight edge and hold it across the longest part of the flange. If it seals / is level in the middle, there's a chance it may be ok, but will blow your gasket away eventually.
