Message	Dunno where you got that idea from... I never said nobody can make a manifold because someone else has already done it, that's your projection. Having worked with a set of Ash Manis on Saturday for one of our upcoming Dyno Zeds and MS manis on Sunday on a different engine, they are not the same at all... one is clearly constructed and finished and installs much better than the other and the two are not equivalent. Third try lucky?
