I've bought 2 sets of the eBay version linked for 3 of my Boxsters and not had a problem with fitting. If anything the thicker chunkier more "quality" ones will interfere more with the under tray, diagonal brace and power steering fluid pipe.

These manifolds aren't new. I've used then since 2012 and I'm sure people have used them with success since before that too. They may not be the ultimate manifolds for quality diameter or power but the age old question is how much do you want to spend and how fast do you want to go? These are good value.

Very interresting, might be worth while to try those manifolds / cats out for that kind of Money.

So, the manifolds are proven ok, how about the downpipes/200-cell cats? Any experiences on those bad boys?

Is this the new "standard" to use in combo with the popular FVD Sound version maybe?

Ive also previously used the cheapy 2 box eBay exhaust. Now on the car is a good used 2003 exhaust which I sent away to Carnewal and sent my much higher mileage but ok condition one in exchange.

That is the true question!
