Any manifolds available anywhere?
 
I’ve been putting together a turbo kit and I was really set on the kraken setup from Fab9. Let’s just say a handful of bad reviews is enough to make me leery of a company, especially if they are all along the same lines. I just went through pages of bad reviews on customer service and wait time for Fab9 products. There might have been 1 out of 50 that wasn’t a bad review. Flyin Miata is sold out of turbo manifolds, artech is gone, MKTurbo isn’t really the route I want to go. What’s left? I’m looking for a cast manifold

Kraken direct from source? https://kraken-mx5.eu/

Was trying to avoid that since they are overseas but it’s looking like that’s probably going to be the way to go. I like that I’ve seen them pretty active on this forum as well so makes me feel better about using them than Fab9.

Yep, go direct through them for sure. Ive dealt with him before nice guy and makes the best cast manifold you can buy. I have a FM manifold but if I was gonna switch it up I would get his bottom mount. Its basically an artech bottom mount but its cast and flows really well.

I would not hesitate to go with Kraken. Go thru the website or message him on Facebook. Great customer support, although can be long lead times, so you might have to be patient.

Build quality is excellent. Don't worry about it coming from overseas.

I can also recommend Kraken. Quality is outstanding and the price, even with shipping from Bulgaria, is great. Be prepared for a long lead time but it's worth it. I've been running his top mount manifold and full exhaust for a couple years now and am really happy I decided to go with Kraken over FM.

Thanks guys for all the input, I sent him a DM on here but that was before I read to message him on Facebook so I’ll shoot him a message over there. Ever since I saw the kraken manifolds I knew I wanted one of those.

Ok so....

You can buy direct from him via the previously linked website.

But instead chose to DM on MT, and now are going to FB message.

Is this why my Instagram feed is getting overrun with shopping links, because nobody uses actual websites specifically for this purpose anymore? Get the hell off my lawn.

For kraken, he doesn't keep up so well with what is and isn't available on the website, so putting the order in through FB usually works better.

That's fair and all, but it still reads real funny. :rofl:
