Have you got the right currency selected CD or are you in Yugoslavian Sheckles ?

Just a quick picture to show how things are panning out :-) should be assembled tomorrow any luck.. as you can see from the parts all nice sweeping flowing mandrel bends, none of this cut and shut stuff :-)

Paul

Looking good

u will lose the 5-pot burble with equal length manifolds but performance will be better.

redd

Looking good Paul, can't wait to see the finished item

Keep up the good work
Any chance of reusing the original Heat shield after installing it?

You're sure..? I'm not!

^ I hope we won't lose the 5-pot warble. I won't be interested if so, but I'd say it's highly unlikely. Easy enough to test.

I know what you are saying, but i think this is from the scooby.. because the lengths are so different on a subaru is what gives it that individual sound. 5 cylinder will sound like 5 cylinder ;-)

Paul

Scooby sound is boxer & 3" system. 5pot note will never change I am so looking forward to testing this manifold.

if you need a tester buddy let me know!The manifold is soon to be stripped out regardless.

Hurry up and wait as they say. I want one now!!!

so how many are you going to make and can you make any with external wastegate option.

sorry if its already been said, if it has ive missed it in the thread

Enjoy :-) this is only a knock up to confirm the fit but you get the idea..

Already done tubular manifold on mine and it didn't lost the 5 pot sound... the tubes are equal lenght... as to heating, i solved it with heat wrap.. here are the pics...

The only thing is that I had to manufacture a new water line above the manifold, will post some pictures of that later...

regards

I like

how much difference are we actually talking on these making?? obviously i know it depends what sp`ec `etc ur running but alot of people say standard is fine upto 400bhp if matched ports . . .

Pretender; that's one clean machine.. Very nice manifold too!

i've opted to make a new water rail as well, it's the only way to have decent flow into the collector.
regarding the heat generated i really don't see any issue whatsoever TBH. Nice job on your manifold, does the manifold give quicker spool over standard?
Paul

The fact that you won't need to take it off to be welded once a year should keep most happy don't you think?

i know some say the standard is good for high BHP but the fact is a tubular manifold on the same car would give more...
Paul

put me down for one, Money now?

I still need to prove the fitment and design a new water rail. Should be about a month before they start rolling off the production line.

possibly sell a small batch as a group buy at a lower price before i start selling them on ebay.

Paul

Sorry for this question Paul, its probably been covered in the previous 5 pages, will this manifold fit with the aircon compressor ?

The kit will be allowing to install onto cars with or without aircon. The space is very tight behind the aircon brackets but I'm confident everying will fit ok.

Paul

<Phew>

after seeing a 16vt manifold today from fcck2000 i will be definantly purchasing one.Looks a good quality bit of kit.lets see this in this next few months.

WOW!

Looks cracking (no pun intended)! - if you can sell them with the new water rail then you're onto a winner.

I'd very much like to have one configured for an external wastegate. Can you do this as a one off, or offer two versions?

Nice job Paul
