I have been the blue guy above for 2 months and am tired. I have the right to be comical. And for you to question my face, is quite sad. "They" are really liking your post, thanks.

and now, a bunny with an intake on its head.(hah)
Man that's either a really small intake or a ginormous bunny. The bunny does have red devil eyes...

P.S. the last time I read this thread it was only like 5 pages long. Can't believe it's almost 30 now. Maybe it's time to make a t-shirt about this thread - a la G.I.
It is the only picture we have of a 626 mani on anything, including a Protege. Well, that and the Camaro. i wonder if we will ever see on IN a protege. 29 pages of talk, no pics of install, no dyno to prove the same.
*yawn*. I am going back to bed. Wake me when there are pictures and dyno proof.

You know there are plenty of Greddy intake manifold knock offs that look exactly the same. But obviously they do not perform the same. Just because it looks similar doesnt mean its the same product.
Yes...VERY unprofessional. I know I would not buy from you just because of this,Until matters are cleared up.I know you may have been had here but you are not making it easy for us or yourself to find out the truth in this matter.That sound like good customer service there..I know I wouldn't want to rip off any of my customers.(blah)wicked said:
The equivalent of one Street Unit Mani shipped to a non biased customer for examination and a definate answer as to the truth of the matter....Thats how much.********** said:
I am willing to even start a Paypal account to raise money by donation to have a member try out both mani's on a dyno...pay for their dyno time if you will.Then all of this will be laid to rest.We need a stock MSP to dyno on though...I have one and I am willing to do this if neccessary.I have a dyno not far from me that could be beneficial.The cost of the dyno time would still be less the the price difference between these two mani's.
Who's with me on this?!

I am sorry you feel that way. I have provided a ton of information about the product, yet its not enough.
The "I hate people" under your name; seems like its easy for you to show hate. I actually cannot remember any posts from you that were positive, maybe you will look past some of the BS be a little more understanding.
http://**********.com/about_us.php
Well The I hate people is there because of ignorant people...And it goes well with my avatar...I just recently changed it from Money talks and BS walks...That would be more appropriate for this thread now wouldn't it.The Comment you quoted was in no way negative,nor was the one after it.I merely stated my opinion and then in the following post I posted a possible solution to the problem.Now tell me how this is being negative?********** said:
I was merely trying to put this to rest either way.
If you want to battle wits...Lace up the gloves...I'm ready!
But in reality,I would really like to know the truth in this matter as it could be of great benefeit to many members.
I am a very helpful person.If you do a search on my posts,you will see that I help with anything I have info about. I only speak IF I am sure on a subject rather than lend my info that may or may not be correct.I do have things That I don't like on this board,and I am not afraid to voice my opinion on,no matter the consequences.I think you are a very good dancer though.You have danced around the truth to this matter for long enough. If you were not a vendor,you would have been labeled a scammer for something like this as just a regular member long ago.
Now, I am not saying you are,but they tend to let the hounds out early around here,and you have been givin one hell of a head start on them.
Merely read my post above about the dyno...I am serious about that and could accomplish this in a total of three days...Dyno on a friday night,swap mani's on a saturday and re-dyno.There would be the answer and an end to all of this.
I'll be listening for the bell!(pullup)

Oh OK! Can I please have a war of words with a member!!! I am being sarcastic because I am tired of this, everyone wants to fight.
I have supplied a ton of information. Thank you.
I don't get this. The MSRP on a 2000 626 manifold with federal emmissions is $356.85. Let's say Cullen is selling a slightly modified 626 manifold. He has to pay in the range of $300 per manifold (I'm sure he's not peddling junk yard parts). He then made whatever modifications were necessary to make it fit. He then has to make some sort of profit and pay shipping to you (I know you guys would like him to sell things without making a profit, but that just does not happen in the real world).
The arguement I've heard from you guys is like saying "I can buy a used car for $2000, so why would I spend $15K on a new one?" It has to be hard dealing with selling parts to mazda protege owners, because as soon as they find out there is a cheap alternative they are all over it no matter what the quality. Most don't have the mechanical knowledge to make anything other than bolt-in work properly without messing up their cars, so I don't know why they even try.
It's pretty obvious that Cullen's manifold is a modified 626 manifold, or at least designed based on it. So what? Buy it or don't. It is probably a brand new manifold that is ready to bolt in to your car with very little mechanical knowledege and instructions. If you don't want to buy it and want to go with junkyard parts, then do it. We all hope it works out with no problems.
This is seriously like a child arguement from both sides.

Why do you need dyno proof to prove that it adds HP, Bryan said he can feel
the added power so why would he lie? Whenever i installed my turbo kit i didnt
get it dynoed, but does that mean i didnt gain any HP? Shaving more than 1
second off my 1/8 mile time is proof enough for me.(thumb)
FSDET said:
and it never will be because he will never agree to compare it against one
Cullen post that engraved part number thats on the manifold I bet its the same as mine, why wont you do that? because you know full well its the same.
Has anyone seen pics of the SU manifold other than his website? nope so who says that he even has it? its same dumb excuse he is trying to use against us
dont worry there will be proof of a 626 manifold working on a protege very shortly
funktownp5 said:
Then what if I said I installed one and had NO difference. It would come down to the old "proof" thing.
They may be the same, but who knows. Nobody has actually proven they installed a 626 mani, nor have they provided proof they are the same HP wise in gains. So since dyno sheets are posted with the SU dyno, someone needs to go get a 626 mani, install it, dyno it, and end this thread.
So many pages of talk, no proof of anything other than manis on a shelf and externally looking similiar.

How do you know that it is a new manifold? He hasn't giving us any specific details, pictures or anything of the differences. What is bothering me is that he don't know the specific details of what he is selling. Take Mental Addiction for an example, When he released his turbo kits, we all had a ton of specific questions and they were answered. Another example, hiboost, when his products were released - he gave us details answers to our questions. If your going to be a manufacturer of a product, you should know it inside and out. He stated earlier that he buys these manifolds from another person. So, ask the person what is he doing to the manifold before its shipped to cullen. I am not trying to start a vendor war or anything like that, but cullen give us some answers. If cullen can show us the difference and I will buy it from him, but if they are the same - then I will buy from somewhere else.
Sorry guys if I'm gragging this thing out, but I am very interested in this product.
