I want one with V-Bands please.

 

I concur good Sir.

Buildz dis manifold weef z' vee baandzz puhleaze

 

mine started like this but soon end up like the bottom pic so i stick with mild

 

That looks like a weld issue more than a metal issue to me

 

Ahh good ole Kurt. What ever happened to him?

Doesn't look like a weld issue necessarily. Looks more like a design issue/metal thickness issue.

 

looks like an SS autochrome issue.

 

This would be my first guess as well...

 

Andrew first.

 

this flange is also missing three holes for the mounting bolts, thats kinda important...

and the exhaust port holes are even close to the correct shape...

 

going to assume it's not for a miata....

 

Looks like honda

Its all just hot air and pipes, the rest is just details.

 

Sloppy seconds?

 

 

 

Is it worth even speaking about manifold performance when most guys will pee more PSI than the turbo will produce! IMHO for Miata/MX5 on stock motors a simple el'cheapo cast item will suffice and spend the saving on fuel/ignition control.

I'll agree 1.75 pennies worth of this statement.

 

i disagree with not using a good manifold just because of stock motor. to be honest i belive just the opposite. If your trying to make good power on a stock motor use a better manifold , make more power and reduce heat. i would like to know exactly what manifold design the m-tuned guy was or is running on his 350+hp stock motor car/cars.
i for one am going to have a custom top mount made out of 321 ss. 304 seems to crack always and the guy whos doing my manifold agrees that 321 is the best way if longevity is a concern.
