No offense taken, I understand where you are coming from. This manifold was made because I haven't seen anything on the market that I would use on my own cars. Just wait til I get the close ups.
I think I'm going to have to throw together a group buy.

Keep us informed if you do.

revvin, im sorry if i seem like im being skeptical of your manifold... i know you've been a long time member of this forum, and know that you're not out to rip anyone off... but after working with a couple of long time members, i learned not to trust anyone.
if the dimentions are the same as the ebay ones... which i can even measure up and take pictures for you..... i would def. be interested, because i dont trust the manifold that davinci (9base3) have sold me.
i have recently bought one from e bay for a fair price, where the welds were reinforced... very ugly, but looks functional... ill get the measurements from that.

In those shots it may be hard to tell, but our manifolds have bracing. If you look close the wastegate flange and turbine housing flange have bracing. A v-band flange is definatly doable, but ofcourse will cost more.
321 is spendy stuff and hard to get; we already looked into that.

Ah...i do see that now. So those little braces would be enough to support the extra weight? For some reason I was thinking about like braces connected to something other than the manifold (sorry, im just thinking out loud).
Well, I definitely would have some interest if the pricing was good with the vband option.

Are you making these manifolds or farming them out. If they are being farmed out or made by someone other than yourself please say so. It will make a big difference in getting any problems straight if there is a problem with these, not saying that there would be. Just a "what if" The reason I suspect that you are not making them yourself is the cars in the picture all have Arizone tags and you are in Minnesota last I heard. I just want to understand exactly who is making the manifolds and who is doing the welding, fabrictang, Xray test that you say will be performed etc?
