Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

My business partner and I were out grabbing some chow today and we got to talking about the excessive and outrageous cost of decent hona b seires turbos headers.

Well we got to talking and if theres enough interest we might consider entering the market with a b series 4-1 stianless header in the neighborhood or say $500.

Contruction would be from 0.93 304L stianless with steel flanges. all welds would be made from optimal materials. and t flanges are steel not due to cost but becuase stianless has an incrediable high growth rate and would warp damn fast.

SO if this is a reasonable price and its something you guys are intrested in then ill talk to abaz about setting up advertising and well market it here for a running price of $500.

So please do feel free to post your opinions heres.

500 bux? uuhh my whole car cost less than that. dont forget this is hmt. good luck on your manifolds.

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

shitbird el make ya a b series for like 325

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

oviously you think Im selling a log manifold. This would be a 4-1 header. not a log. equal length tubes. I cant see anyone making these manifolds for less then $500 becuase the materials cost for 304L is realy high. ! These wold be comparble in both quality design etc to the manifolds at lovefab, cheapturbo etc

But as i siad. its an interest check. If i get time this week ill dig up some gif's etc of similar manifolds and they you can weight in onost vs value.

I'd like to see the ACTUAL product before I promise anything. I would also like to see a D series flange. I think most people on this site are running D series anyways. :-\

i think 99% of the hmt population would rather spend $50 on a HF manifold and another $50 on an adapter plate.

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

$250 and under is generally the going rate for a log mani made out of SS. Only people that can get more are people like lovefab b/c he has a reputation

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

For the last time. Its not a LOG. its an individual tube into a proper collector for a 4-1 arrangement. i have some pics of my header ill post later. Also if there was a significant interest in a D series header then yeah we could do that. yet again its not a log. Also id need a car here in the michigan Area for a fit up vehicle.

Any Takers ?

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

The market is so flooded with manifolds that its pretty hard to advertise an equal length manifold and expect people to pay $500 for it even if it is stainless and all. Most people on HMT are people on budgets so if it was a choice between a new turbo for $580 or a $500 manifold, I think you know what they would pick. If it was in the range of $350, that would be more reasonable.

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

i would do 300 for a non stainless equal length d series header. if stainless is so expensive then dont use it use regular steel. this is budget oriented situation on hmt

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

the problem with a non stialness manifold is that it just wont last. IF it were coated with something like the Swain TBC which is a 3 step process you might be able to get it to last a year or so. Maybe. by then with the coatings to make mild steel survive your into and almost = cost and a product thats more prone to coating.

Most people arent aware of the fact that when steel stay hot that the carbon in the steel leache out to the surface and create cracks. It called carbon leeching and its a huge problem on mild steel manifolds.

The reason you wnt 304L or even 321 or 316L is becuase those are very low carbon steels. They wont have leeching and will take much longer to crack.

If there is someone in the detriot,Michigan area intersested in getting a protoype made for a slightly lower cost get ahold of me via email and we can talk.

Also what turbos would you want to be on these manifolds ?? is another question ?

Sure we can do a low cost log and if thats what you really want ill talk to the Fab guy but he usually wont go for stuff like that.

Re:Whats a good price on a turbo header these days ?
 

Ok well i tlaked to the FAb guy. The first guy with a D series to repons to this thats somewhere in the detriot area will get a stianless header Really cheap for being the guinea pig.

Secondly we redid ome of the estimates and we think we can do the same 4-1 turbo header for $400. Dont ask me how i dont price this stuff out.

If you wanted a log we could whip uyp a stianless log for around $300.

We will have to wait to see the beta car to go any further. So who is gonna stepup.
