So, a dialynx manifold is £459 + vat.
I have tried reading up on them and its 6 of 1, half dozen of the other on peoples views.
Now I think its worth buying as the stock manifold has had a couple of repairs. And being a layman in thinking that surely a weld would distrupt the gas flow inside the manifold?
Anyway, what's your views on these manifolds? Warping is the biggest worry?

My WR has a Dialynx manifold, was installed a loooong time ago, say ten years plus 70k miles of use.
When it was removed during engine rebuild a few months back there was a very small warp which needed next to nothing skimmed to rectify. Assuming this was the first time it was removed/checked I would like to think that it's not too bad a choice! Also meant to liberate a few horses from the engine (and a pony from your wallet!) which isn't all bad!
