I bought this for my 1.8 biuld. but it looks like im staying N/A for a while. I want this gone. Its never been installed and has a brand new professional ceramic coating, inside and outside of the manifold. Its a stainless steel manifold.The coating was done by www.Xtremepeformancecoatings.com, in Oxnard, CA. They do ALL of Turbonetics coatings. I have proabaly done about $3000.00 in coatings throughout my car building time. haha they do awesome work.


$120.00 Shipped, OBO I want this GONE it comes with no hardware or gaskets, it fits the 94-97 1.8l miatas.

 

Who made the manifold? It looks like an ebay one (why coat an ebay mani?)...

 

its made of quality welds and nice stainless steel construction. I dont see it failing on,a,street drivin miata..and,it looks very very simular to the begi s4 $450.00 manifold the sell..

Ive used alot of ebay exhaust products, stainless steel never gave me a problem.

 

Dude... you HAVE to tell people what it actually is before they will buy it.

So, it is an eBay manifold?

 

I would say it is.

 

the ceramic will add much strengths

 

Yes it will look very pretty right before it cracks. Corky went to China to get the prototype of the S4 mani made there. Master craftsmen made him the prototype, a thing of beauty, Corky says lets build it! Thereafter the Chinese made the manifolds out of inferior steel, and they all cracked. Horrified Corky says I can't sell this crap! He went back to the states and paid American workers to build the S4 mani. Soon after, the Chinese flooded eBay with their inferior knock offs. As the Chinese don't recognize patents, Corky now competes with his own design, and worse because so many eBay mani failed, there is damage done to Cork's reputation. The reason these fail is inferior steel, and the lack of proper support to the manifold as in the actual S4 mani/downpipe who knows? Your mani might make it a while as it is, long enough for the buyer to get the real thing.

 

From a previous thread...

 

Yes this is an ebay manifold.. The only reason im selling it is because I sold my turbo and dont need it anymore.

 

New price at $120.00 shipped. Bump

 

looks like you have competition

Hmmm for some reason the websites link isn't working. I wanna hear about this extreme performance coating.

 

FWIW cermic coating on the inside of the manifold pre turbo is a big nono.

 

Don't worry, its only sprayed outside. Cough, i mean coated.

 

Actually, on 3 different Evos, all coated with the Xtreme black, 2000degree. And they have all lasted for going on 2 years now, at 26+psi..

And I never thought that the inside coating would stay, but it does and helps with exhaust flow..

 

Here is the website : www.xtremeperformanceheatcoatings.com

 

You can also look at my gallery photos . It shows the greddy turbo with the ceramic coating on the hotaide. And TDTL heat releasent.. These coatings last a long time

 

Why does everyone seem to think its spray painted. It is not, it ia professionally ceramic coated with the Xtreme black, low gloss. Ive sold a number of items on miatatuebo.net.. Even sold me ceramic coated 1.6 turbo mani a member bought from me. The inside coating had not chipped and the outside was fine.... just from my experience.

 

The reasons you're being made fun of:

1. Sweet what about the manifold

2.Ok, then why did you coat it??

3.Not one person on this forum believes that and be happy you're not getting flamed worse for saying an ebay manifold won't fail on a street car. I'm actually surprised you aren't banned yet for trying to trick some noob into buying your ----, it took you 10 ------- posts to finally admit it was an ebay mani.
