YES...I've used 2 of them,,finish is great, better than my Edelbrocks,,,I've got one for sale also! They tested the same as the Edelbrock. They use steel molds instead of sand for a better finish.

Can't beat the price of these manifolds. I bought one before anyone I knew had heard of them and was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box :cheers:

I've looked at them closely and compared them side by side with several other mfg's., but have never seen back to back dyno testing.

Basically they are the guys that Edelbrock is always fussing about in their ads. They have taken just about every Edelbrock intake and copied it almost exactly, from the RPM Air Gaps to the Victors and Super Victors. The overall quality looked pretty good, but they needed some clean up work just as the others do.

So is the quality good?....overall I'd have to say yes. Is it right to buy pirated stuff made in China and sold here for less $$...that's up to you. I think Edelbrock did a sizeable amount of research to come up with their designs, but I doubt the other guys did other than in the mold shops making them. I have no issue buying foreign made parts, but I'm just not comfortable how these guys went about it yet.

I didn't know that the Power+ stuff was made in China. Nevertheless, I will be sticking with the Edelbrock or Weiand products. They have always worked for me!

I haven't seen those manifolds. If it sounds too good to be true......

Has anyone tried Air Flow Research's manifolds? They also look like dup's of Edelbrock's manifolds. The prices look about the same.
