Build them well, don't compromise the quality to hit a price is my opinion. I only mentioned price in my previous comments as a lot of folks aren't looking for high end, race car, 10/10ths parts. Some are, but not everyone.
The last 2 pictures look really nice, really well designed. I would have bought this over an ebay manifold had I known it was available at the time. Looks lighter, stronger, and would certainly flow better. Casting quality looks better as well, and you mentioned the material benefit already as well.

Ignore the last few comments and charge a reasonable price that still makes you a profit.
There are a lot of people on this forum that want things to be priced unreasonably low.
Just make it not suck.
Are you saying the downpipe you are using with the second manifold also works with the first?

Thanks for the kind words. In no way did I take the comments as negative, i wrote a few replies but realized none actually answered the question about price.
I rather not make any manifolds then have to replace them, I made these manifolds because of the love for the mx5, cant explain it I just thought it deserved better than what was available. In now way I could afford to drop 7k on FM kit or similar, so decided to make my own, this was over 3 years ago and this where I am now
The downpipe for the TD04L is actually a cast elbow with vband, it will not fit any other turbo
And this is a CAT relaxing

Dont want to charge maximum amount, there is no point in making something for people that can afford to buy FM or trackspeed stuff, its not the point. I want to compete in the lower end stuff, hopefully no one will need to buy a welded log ever again
Think the trackspeed manifold is similar, however its not a clone. The only way to have clearances and easy access is to have the turbo sitting slightly higher and to the left, thats what I done
It looks similar because no one else has cast sexy runners before
