Oh, and if nobody else noticed, they copied Blox's manifold description (from Blox's website) word for word!! lol... lazy *****.

PS: I will give them some credit... they at least changed the word "Blox" to "Meutek"

Appears to be the industry standard 35/38mm Tial style.Not to sure on the hitting the hood but even if it does just get a elbow or make one.

Well since this manifold looks similar to the Blox (which does have some problems with clearance), I'd say if CRX's have any problems with the Blox, it'll have similar issues with this manifold. An elbow would fix that no problem. I'm just not too familiar with CRX's.. I know the b18c has clearance issues but not the B18b... based on engine mounting, I suppose.

Doesn't really say anything more :1 nor does it say anything about the warrenty... "up to a year" is a bit vague.

I wish I could trust this company so I could just buy one and not worry, but they're just too new.
a cast mani with en excellent wg position for $200...................beats buying ssac log manis. just waiting on uncle sam to send in my tax return even though they are an imitation of blox. still looks good. if someone orders this before i do, please post up the results of the manifold.

Where did you get this from? I've looked at there website (very limited might I add), but I can't see anything about a lifetime warrenty. The only news about a warrenty was from that ebay seller who said there was a 1 year. I currently have a bid on ebay for $100... i figure if it sucks *****... I'm only out $100, but if it's good, I get a hell of a deal on a cast manifold.

Well... it looks like we may have our answer...

Like I said in the post right above, I placed a bid, but ebay has closed all their auctions and are suspending (maybe deleting, I dunno) the Meutek guy's account. I messaged ebay to try and find out any details as to why that happened. I'll let you know if I find out.

Hi everyone and kenny, just became a member here. We have sold over 50 manifolds so far and nothing but good things about the product! What questions do you guys have for meutek to answer? Thanks

Hey.. glad to see you're on HMT... just wondering about the quality of your manifold. For the money, the meutek one looks awesome... but since the company is so new, you naturally want to wait until someone else uses it first. Do you have any vouches or reviews from anyone/anywhere that shows you've made the sales? Also, why was the Ebay account taken down? Thanks.

Some people in the this forum have pruchased some. I am very sure that you will see some soon. Manifold has been tested and ran for over 15k on multiple vehicle before being released. Something about a key word being used on the title. Please let me know as soon as you are ready for one, you will not be disappointed. Thanks
