Euro GTI manifold - 8v

[forkboy69 at hotmail.com (Mark ...........)]

It's in their "shelfwarmer" specials section.  The tech said there was a 
ball joint connection between the manifold and downpipe, which confused 
me...  sounded like my toiletbowl.

non-cat application.

The sale price is $95 for the manifold and $75 for the DP (down from $250 & 
150).  I can post it now because I have re-thought it... too many projects 
too little money right now.  If I did the DP I would have to do the exhaust, 
worry about the O2 sensor (or lack of)... etc.

I think I'll just keep hunting for a cheap 4-2 manifold on Ebay for a while.

Thanks for the replies!
