Re:Billet Turbo Manifolds
$350 is a steal!!! I make nothing on it at that price. The only advantage to me is that I can move the ones I have already built and build some more using the knowledge gained building them to speed up production and refine the process. I am selling for less than a cast manifold!!!!! Maybe I'm talking to the wrong crowd but the last car show I went to the cars had cast pipes or tubes and they all looked like ***. This manifold will out perform any other manifold in top end performance and lets face it, Hondas have to be revved up to get them to pull hard anyway.

Re:Billet Turbo Manifolds
I guess if I actually saw one in person or worked with it I might have a different opinion.. I'm pretty much lumping it with log manifolds and I can build or buy a nice stainless one for $350.. Maybe they will outperform them by alot. I can't imagine a chunk of steel costs $350.. What are you expecting to sell the next batch for? I really would like to try a b series one.. Can you make them to work with a Tial wastegate?
Also just because a cast manifold costs $400 doesn't mean they are worth that much.. The import market is so skewed because of young uninformed buyers.. Look at the domestic market.. A twin turbo system with everything is the same as a single turbo for a honda.. Thats two turbos and two headers and a big intercooler. I would personally like to see the import market get the same way.

Re:Billet Turbo Manifolds
The steel costs $40, the tig welding costs $30, the ceramic is $35, Making the first 5 cost $200 in worn cutting tools. The manifolds are machined on a $120,000 machining center and designed using software that cost over $12,000 and, try as I might I can't find anyone to run it for free. Like I said, This price is "cost". If you want any old manifold then build it from a flange and weld ells but if you want the ultimate, "holy ---- thats cool", "yes and it goes like hell too" never break or crack, awesome looking, Manifold "par excellence" Well.... you might give one of these a try!
