Rock on Richman!! I'm soo happy you made another batch and your new customers are lucky to get 505's IMs!

Sidenote, for all you guys getting ready to bolt-on these badboys get ready for more powaaar! I went from the stock intake manifold to Rich's IM, and the immediate power gains without tuning was around 30+Hp right off the bat. Dyno-Tuning was so much fun, the engine forced air through the head like never before. Throttle response was so sharp, lowend torque was quite linear providing a ton more grunt than with the modified stock intake manifold. My favorite part about the mani was WOT pulls to 8grand. What a trip and the msp was "stupid" fast yet very easy to daily drive. Please pm me if you want the juicy details and numbers. Have fun with these one of a kind intake manifolds guys/gals, you won't be dissappointed trust me.

Rich, I owe you a phone call its been too long and things are looking good so far this year. Hope your well bro, talk soon

So..... does everyone need to be fully paid before the manifolds go out to powder coat?? Or can they be sent individually out for the people that have paid?

Bump any updates on the progress of the intakes?

Hey guys. Right now the intakes are being welded together. Last part is to fit fuel rail then fly cut the flange to the engine, so that its nice and flat to seal up with the gasket. The mani's are being worked on in between of what Wes has going on for his real job. Need to have Rich come down and take some pics, we also redesigned the bracket for the throttle cable, so it has more room to tighten. Again, thanks for the patience guys, and hopefully we'll have some pics up real soon! Laters

 

[Spiced MSP]

[mazdaspeedp]

[Spiced MSP]

So whats the status on the manifolds? Are we being held up by people not paying? I'd like to get a realistic timeframe, I dont mind if its still weeks away I just want to know what to expect.

Happy Easter guys! Sorry for the lack of updates from me... I was out of town for a few days, had family here for a few more, and one of my buddies just started living at my house while inbetween rentals. Things are chilling out here and going back to usual though, so I will be able to jump online more.

1. We are not waiting for everyone to pay up before sending manifolds to powdercoat. However, we ARE waiting for all of the manifolds to be done at the shop. The deal with the powdercoat shop calls for all manifolds to go to them at the same time.

2. Last I heard there were several manifolds finished. I will be heading down to the shop early this week to take some pics for you guys and see where we're currently at.

3. I'll catch up on PM's and update the list later tonight or tomorrow morning.


Hope you all have a great holiday.

Thanks for the update but, doesn't this kinda contradict each other?

From what I gather once they are all finished they will get powdercoated wether everyone paid or not, then I'm assuming if u paid u will receive it. Dosent really contradict anything.
