[s-cars] How much are the RS2 manifolds going for now?

[George Grubr]

with reasonable treatment (warm up/cool down) should last at least 100k or
more IMO .... 120k was about my limit per unit but I have the car in Europe
for most of that time and that was not, even remotely, 65 per hour ..

Guys,

Correct me if I am wrong, but the RS2 manifolds do not hold up over time. I
participated in the RS2 Turbo GP and desire(when the wifey stops watching
the checking account ;-))to purchase a reliable long-term manifold solution.
What are my options?
