Awesome parts Kraken!

I have your regular pie cut EFR setup, and no cracking issues at all with a couple track days and a few 1000 street miles.

I imagine this elbow will make a bomb proof reliable track setup.

$200 shipped is squarely in "$Free.99" territory when talking about a boosted Miata. Anyone complaining about that cost isn't someone you want to do business with.

Mr. Kraken, you've got a really sexy elbow.

If I had an EFR I would be all over that.

I love that cast 90 degree EFR elbow. I actually placed an order sometime last month. Is there any chance I can request a delay until this is ready? I actually sent an email inquiry about the status last night (and now feeling like an idiot), and I'm definitely willing to be patient for a great product. What would the cost difference be? I'm order #1817.

It was meant to be ready earlier in the year, then I made better welded ones then I was left without money for it then realised I have already spent too much not to finish it and decided to go the extra yard get it done. Nothing extra to pay the EFR downpipes will only ship with the cast elbow as standard




These were the welded type was thinking to send you but decided to wait for the cast piece

Quietly decided to just go extra mile and deliver better than promised products at no extra cost.
Not to mention continually creating new parts for us at the cost of cannibalizing his own products' market.

Someone give this man a hug ( or more poscats ).

Yup. Rare occurrence these days, pushing more and more the envelope for better products. Part of why I will keep recommending Kraken to anyone; you simply cannot get any better product for your money.

Another happy customer here. I spent a lot of time deciding how to put together my setup and I'm really glad that I went with the Kraken manifold and full exhaust. The parts are premium and even with shipping to the US the value is incredible. Keep it up man!

I have to say, the pricing is amazing.

The product pricing is extremely competitive, and the shipping is unheard of.


Main reason I went with the Kraken gear was that I wanted a quality cast manifold, and they've been pretty proven.

It was a bonus that it was also cheaper than any other option, cast or not. (ebay **** doesnt count)

Just pre-ordered my efr bottom mount manifold kit today. Excellent customer service. He got right back to me on all questions and was the only vendor to get back to me so he won my business. Super excited and cant wait for the kit to show up. Anyone on the fence about customer service or the fact he is so far away rest at ease, prices are great including shipping for a full kit even. Thanks again...

Stupid question - what's the difference between the 1.6 & 1.8 kits? What parts would I have to swap in order to move to a 1.8 later?

Flyin Miata has everything you need for a 1.8 swap. I think their kit is like $150

The exhaust ports are different on the 1.6, so you'd need a new manifold at the very least.

THANK you, I don't know why I didn't know that. I was/am hoping that the manifolds are similar enough to one another to use the same dp/exhaust if I purchased the whole hot side kit.
