How about timing values? If there are too retarded would that cause creep?
I don't belive so. We tried a bunch of different settings on the dyno, and the boost never changed.

I haven't weighed it, but I would guess between 10 and 15 lbs. I think it is closer to 10.

Call for custom applications available.

From $950

Just an example. [/quote]

You can't beat that for 300-450. It takes time to make these. If I were to make custom manifolds I would charge at least 450 for a divided tubular manifold, maybe a bit cheeper for a simple one. I would say you are offering a good deal [/quote]

450 for a divied tublar equal length manifold?



Done! where do i pay? you make I BUY!

I am open to making anything that people will buy.





Post a pic / link to what you have in mind.

Okay, I am going to put another manifold togather. But I am going to split the "collector" area, and add 2 wastegate runners. It will be divided then.

So your saying there are really no advantages to useing stainless, except for a couple pounds??



I'm not trying to hound you, I might be a customer.

You aren't bothering me, don't worry about asking questions.







Using stainless is mainly for appearance. Honestly. Other then that, it expands and contracts alot more then mild steel. It isn't supposed to but it does.



Also ss manifolds that are made with thin wall tubing will crack. I don't care how good you are at welding. Thin material will crack. If you would like me to make a lighter weight manifold I can. But it will not last very long.





What would you rather have, a manifold that weighs a few pounds more but is probably lighter then the stock one? Or a light weight ss manifold that you will inevitably crack?
