You must rember the supply and demand game, right now all my prices have gone up on manifolds because I am in school and dont have the time to make 3 manifolds a day, right now I am only getting to make about 3 manifolds a week. I also have a 2 month back order right now, so when I get out of school, and can start doing manifolds full time again then I should be able to drop some prices, till then my only way to slow people down on buying and for me to pay the bills is to sell everything really high. Also for my super elf, the only other manifolds on the market simular to it are the lovefab eq mini me $700 and the ssautocrome/obx/stonemountain racing for like $200

just checked out krb's they are pretty nice. well i guess when you get out of school things will get booming for you but uping the price just to spare a few sales doesn't sound very business minded or fair for that matter

when you got 8+ customers complaining about their orders taking so long and you have 20 total, the only way to slow down the buisness, pay bills, and get everyones stuff done by not gitting deeper in the hole is to up the price....

my price might be slighly higher than others but not by much, I still have very reasonable prices.
if you want low budget boost, get a mild steel log or an adapter plate, if you want something that will support massive hp, you really like to spend money, or like the bling, then buy a nice manifold....

manifolds look good james. nice welds as always.

i think i may soon have to start getting into the mani making business... seems like there is a pretty high demand and you could use some help.

we are gonna fab up a new upper rad hose and the little elbow that connects to the head for the h22 setup. the downpipe will go down in between the turbo and the radiator and header wrap the downpipe to cut down on heat, we are putting 2 pusher fans in front of the radiator to make room for this.

ok the new name for it is the sidewinder peg-legged twister manifold, that original enough
