Default WTB Well Made Turbo Manifold (GT2560r)

Trying to track down a solid manifold (most likely log style) for my NB2. I have a GT2560r on its way so I'm looking for something that'll last and handle decent power (220 - 300). I have no PS, but keeping AC.

Also, tips on how I can delete old threads would be appreciated!

Contact Kraken through facebook and buy all of his parts you need. Solid manifold. downpipe and full exhaust.

I want to buy used. Ideally a FM Cast Log. Simple, strong, compact. Trying to keep costs low as this is my first build and I'm trying to get decent parts.

Kraken manifold / Downpipe combo is like $750 including Inconel studs that you need to buy anyway, which cost $100 elsewhere.

used FM manifold usually goes for $350-400, used Downpipe $300-400

so you can see you are winning anything here. and trying to buy inferior parts.

if you want cheap, get a ebay tacotaco 1.8 T25 cast manifold on ebay. its strong, people here used it with no issues.

Kraken wants ~800 for the manifold and downpipe. FM is around 600 so I would expect used to be around 300-400 max with studs possibly.

I'll have to fabricate the whole entire exhaust anyway with a friend so that's not an issue.

Just need a quality manifold since that's a concern of mine.

Go through kraken. They have bottom mount stuff now and their design looks (to my untrained eye) like it would flow way better than an fm manifold and have a better cast outlet.
Fm manifolds dont pass hands very often around here.

FM is $959 for manifold/cast elbow/downpipe.

you can buy manifold only from kraken, PM him on facebook.

ya, I'd like to think it's because they are so satisfied with it. I can't go bottom mount due to AC :/

Thanks again Borka, I contacted them and they had a used mani and elbow I got for a steal. Shipping Monday!

Now how the hell do I delete these threads?? Haha
