   RaceLand items are normally very good quality sometimes need slight rejigging to get their scoops to fit but still good bits of kit.
   
   As for the exhaust Im not sure anyone has one. For that money its a bargin tho. If you like the look of the dual exit and dont want to pay the £200+ prce for the Scorpion or a Custom job then why not give it a go

   not really after performance just looks and sound. i dont want anything loud as the last powerflow system i had was mega loud and got on my tits i just a rumble if you know what i mean. i might buy one and see if not i will sell it as a brand new item that way i can get my money back on it pretty much.

   not really, look at the wleding on a racleand manifold its quite poor 2bh, and the materials used are cheap and quite thin.
   
   theres a reason theyre cheap and its not because theyre built well

    For the money there fine, but if your looking for high quality stuff then you have to pay the price.
    
    Do know of anyone that has had their RaceLand manifold crack or fall apart?

    no but they glow bright red. people havent had them for long. so as i said on ssc, give them time and, imo, a lot of them will start to distort and crack because of how thin they are.

    Ok I take what you say on borad
    
    But having said that most people mainly the younger, baseball wearing types will either have crashed their cars or swapped them for a Corsa Twinport before there manifolds let go

    ive only got a raceland until i decide what else i want to run instead. the part that bolts to the head on most examples doesnt fit right/flush.
    
    as i said the welds you can see are not good, so in some cases could effect performance,
    
    and as williams said theyre new not many have had them for more than 5 mins, i personally didnt buy mine expecting it to last thats for sure.

    I think you take the risk with any aftermarket item really as you can never 100% tell how it is gona sound or perform untill its fitted.
    
    
    I take back any recommendation towards RaceLand items
