There is already some T4 cast ones out there, so I doubt it. The one from FP is specifically designed to work with their fancy pants Mitsu style hotside, the one that came on my 3575. The collector is opened up properly, the angle into the hotside is much smoother and as a bonus it's lighter and won't crack. It's really a nice piece, a heck of a deal compared to $1000 tubulars and a new $230 EVOIII mani.

I haven't gotten out to evaluate it yet as I just got it last week, but the big boys with similar setups are seeing 2-300 rpm quicker spool and a noticeable increase in power over the ported 2G. Plus it alleviates the problem of not being able to access the v-bands on the down pipe and wastegate easily, there's now plenty of room with the runners moved up.
