It's an off the shelf solution to a problem/need.

The supplied throttle body is a jap/generic ebay special, and the welds on the manifold are a little cold in places but it's not too bad. Still - I'm not sure you should be able to pick faults like this in a £1000 manifold.

If there was a market for them, someone could make money designing something similar and selling at a much lower cost.

The dp exhaust manifold can suck donkey dick though. Never seen a straight one from the factory, and again, not something I want to repair before fitting...
