1.6 tubular manifold and dp
Manifold is T2 flanged (GT25/28, Garrett/nissan T25/28), made out of SCH10 304SS pipe, TIG welded.
The dp is not complete. Apparently the last owner of my miata had the cataytic converter/piping replaced at some point, but instead of welding flanges, they welded it solid so I have no idea where the flange was supposed to be. Also ran out of ss pipe, but didn't want to sell just the elbow part so I used some painted piping. You'll probably want to repaint it after getting the flange welded. I've used the bbq black paint on downpipes with success.
I'm going with a different setup so this has to go. I may be interested in a trade for a 1.8 head.
Here are some pics.
Fitment (with GT2560):
(clears heater hose and frame)
(you can see unflanged, cut exhaust hanging down)
(fender ic routing)
(front of rad ic routing)

How about $325? C'mon, you can't even buy log manifold for that.
Ships for only $14 anywhere in the US if I cut the dp in half. I'll mark it so you can have it rewelded in the same location.

m2cupcar, that's what I thought too.
Yeah, I'll be making more manifolds, for both 1.6 and 1.8 motors, playing with different designs. I need to figure out whats more important for buyers. For example, p/s compatibility, a/c compatibility, coolant rerouting, log vs tubular vs equal lenght, t2 vs t3 flanged, mild vs ss, backpurging. And then price, what people are willing to pay for a manifold. Is there a market for an equal lenght $800 manifold or should I stick to $200 logs.

Id be interested in a mani and dp like that, especially at that price. Any reason why the turbo flange is on a angle?
