Think I'd really rather send my money to Vic in California then I would some knock off company in China or wherever the heck they are made.... Whatever manifold you get, there's probably a dozen of them for sale on eBay, Craig's list, Racing Junk, and a bunch of the other used part sellers. Hard to complain about jobs being exported overseas and a multitude of other problems buy buying the knock offs. I guess I just decided to make a stand somewhere... Hard to avoid not buying any imported stuff, but I believe I'll stick to supporting the US manufacturer's on Hot Rod parts, especially companies, like Edelbrock, Weiand, Isky and some of the other old, established companies that started the whole Hot Rod thing...... I guess 1 manifold won't have much effect on the trade deficit and heck, it's somebody else's problem anyway, right?????
