Who's left? Fabricators for hire?
Hey guys, I'm starting to get back into the HMT swing of things and I'm getting ready to (finally) boost my B16 CRX. I'm looking for a tubular manifold that will fit in my cramped CRX engine bay, not a log.
Problem is all I can find as far as manifolds go, are H-T sponsors and we all know how they hype things up and drive the price through the roof. I'm not trying to pay $1000 for a top mount manifold or $800 for a ram horn that I've seen HMT members easily replicate.
So who's left out there with reasonable prices that *actually* ships you what you've ordered in a reasonable amount of time?

I still make manifolds on occasion. This is what I'm working on. It should be done by Tuesday night.
I don't get nearly that much for top mounts. This one will go out for under $600 shipped. I still make mini rams for under $360 shipped. With that said I'm still backed up a bit because I only work when I feel like it and I generally only make manifolds for one place and they don't care when I make them, they buy anything I feel like making.

^^^^Looks sweet. 
If I had the skill, talent and patience to build something like that I would capitalize on it and turn a profit. I don't undersatnd why more people (with the skills) don't.

I make manifolds when ever I feel like it. I couldn't do it as a job. It wouldn't pay enough. I make more per hour at my normal job. I like to be creative. That's why I am building soom top mounts. I haven't built them before. I'm still trying to decide what I am going to build for my CRX.

CS Addict that's a good looking manifold, but would something like that fit into a CRX with a B swap? I'd be willing to pay around $500 or so for something like that and a mini ram for under $360 would be ****. I'm not on any kind of schedule either since I'm about to leave for the Marines.
It's good to know there's still a few fabricators out there.
