Buy 2nd hand Toda or Tegiwa copy???

[B16Swt]

As titled really, I have found a 2nd hand Toda exhaust manifold in very good condition slight corrosion for £500. Or do I buy the Tegiwa copy new for £425?
Is the Toda worth the extra money over the Tegiwa?

I would defo go for the Toda 2nd hand mani.....just depends on the extent of the corrosion really. If its not that bad surely Toda over Tegiwa copy!

How much did you pay in the end dude out of curiosity ? ( I actually had my eye on it lol ) Pm if you like.
Yeah vee aka veetec1 has got a bad rep on forums, I've seen a few bad threads on him, however I've bought a few bits off him and can't really find fault.

Toda all the way - if you ever sell it you won't lose any money! I've had dealings with veetec1 and I would not touch anything he sells with a barge pole and I've barred him from my eBay auctions as well
