It's from a shop that seems to do a lot of ebay business...see their manifolds and piping kit for the tC a lot there...
Don't know what they'd charge for all the parts, but this kit was super-cheap

Don't know about not running an Emanage or anything though... not diggin' that.

Yo dave, I think he was paying the Stage 0 a compliment. He was saying this kit looks low quality compared to a ZPI Stage 0, I don't think he was intending to say the Stage 0 was low quality. At least that's the way I read it.

Certainly not very pretty.
Turbo looks a bit large, I wonder how much lag it may have?
Speculation of course since I do know what it is, maybe i will go look
Typical log manifold with an external wastegate, why oh why do so many do that?
Welds look great for the most part, just one(could be the picture) does not look as good as the others.
Downpipe is a bit of an eyesore, a tighter bend would of looked better.
S pipe looks like a choped and added onto stock pipe, if so, rather narrow inside it but that could be the pics as well.
Overall, without seeing it in person, riding in or driving the car, seeing dyno charts, fuel curves, etc, hard to give a proper assesment.
Cosmetically, not to great but they may put function far above form and it could be a great kit overall.
Best advice, do as much research as possible before you jump in;)

I think the flange is only 1/4 inch thick .
