Exclamation Dorman or OEM Manifold or other?

Dorman manifold is around $100 with gaskets and studs, just had the dealership quote me $230 for a FORD OEM manifold, gaskets, and studs. Which will last longer? I don't care about price, I care about longevity. If they typically last the same amount of time, I will obviously go with the cheaper of the two. Just wanted to see what people were buying as far as replacement parts.

It always better to go oem, when it comes to engine stuff. Defiantly go oem on the gasket, they will outlast the Dorman any day.

I agree, this is a job you don't want to have to do again anytime soon.

Agreed 100%, I do not want to do this ever again, but it's better than paying to have it done. I had a dealership quote me $1100 today for just ONE SIDE.
