So, do you guys really want aftermarket exhaust manifolds for your cars?

Thanks, just wondering if it is something that i need to improve or?? I know people will buy them but I would like to make something better but I can't spend anymore time on these if it isn't going anywhere, that's all. :thumb:

can you delete my duplicates simon?
Once the word truely gets out and your current customers have time to give feedback, orders will pickup. I think your biggest market will be for the T3 and Hybrid cars.

what do you currently offer? sohc headers? dohc headers? hybrid headers? what is the cost? et...
Check out the vendor section and he has some posted in the for sale section! :D
Personally I believe that just porting it out works enough. If i wanted to go extreme I would port out a TBI manifold, but that would be the end of it.

How fast have people gone on stock exhaust manifolds?
To me it's all about the price, if money wasn't an issue I probly wouldn't have disovered how much fun TD's were.
As in my daytona wasn't the first car on my wishlist when I was 15, the only reason I bought it is cause it didn't cost much more than a TU header :)
I bought a alabama header because it keeps the stock turbo location.
Is yours in a stock location?
I am waiting for someone to build one like bob's log on turboford.org. I would snap one up in that price range with the reviews that those get.

Me and a guy off of a VW board are going to fab one up for me this summer/fall. He does a ton of them for most VWs, started HKK motorsports. The next time I talk to him, I will let him know that there may be an interest in them, and that he should keep all measurements, etc.

This is one he said, "Just playing around with plenum designs



The style he makes all the time.



He is doing mine cheap, as its the first, and Ill help out. (and we are buds, I guess, haha) But I believe he does them for 300 or 350 usually, IMO, a damn good price.

Might have gone a bit far with this, as I am unsure if he has any interest, but figured I see if there was any here.

O yeah, mine will be somewhere around 2.2 to 2.5 liters, as that is what I hear I4s want. Close to engine displacement in volume for thier intake.

How about a link or a picture? Got any perf. numbers? This is the first I've heard of your manifolds since I don't keep up with TD.com like I used to.

I searched typert's posts since I'm not gonna sort through the for sale or vendor section.

If I could see some numbers on the style manifold in the picture I might pick one up.
