MSP Exhaust Manifold Design - Input Needed!

[yashart_mp3]

I need your input! I am working closely with a manufacturer who is looking to make an MSP exhaust manifold. This manifold will be brought to the market (meaning available to everyone), so I think your input would be best. I repeat, this manifold will be brought to the protege community. This is not a GI or anything of that nature. I want to get some input from other members as to what kind of manifold you guys would like as well.

Please respond through the poll, and leave feedback/comments here.

1)I want to know what kind of manifold would you be interested in?

Something along the lines of this?

Or something more uniform, like the one MAM offers in their 2nd Gen Sleeper kit, like this:

Both would have equal length runners, one would just be uniform/cemetrical (like MAM's), while the other would be more random or sporadic looking (like the first one pictured).

Performance would be the same from both. They would be made of stainless steel and retain the egr fitting as well. More information will be available as it is given to me.

2) What kind of finish would be you interested in? Stainless steel, painted black (like the one shown above), or Ceramic Coated for an additional $120-$140? Stainless steel/ painted black will be approx the same cost. Ceramic coating will be anywhere from $120 to $140 more than the stainless/painted option.


I should have a prototype available to me hopefully in a month, and they could be available to everyone as early as 2-3 months from now.

Let me know what your thoughts are! Thanks in advance

Im sure the MAM style mani will be more appealing. Nice to see you working to get another mani to the market.....hows the quality, fit and finish going to be??

I was assured that the manifold would be top notch/ race quality. Fit and finish should be exellent. Once I recieve the prototype, I will test fit it. If everything is good from there, then production will start

what would be a price range??
coz if you guys do something lke 400$, you'll blow the competence away

Hmm... although I am very skeptical when these types of threads come up, I would say that if it was actually gonna be for the msp the start and end locations of the flanges and that twist that is seen with the stock manifold would have to be kept. The 4 in 1 piramid collector would be nice. Equal lengh and ceramic coated. Hmmm, in the end you would end up more of less with what MAM has for their MSP tubular. Now, if you want to make something that is awsome (MAM msp manifold) and make it even better have it made out of titanium tubing and tig welded.

i kinda think the sporadic design looks cool, myself. If you can get this with low cost, i'd certainly be down!!

Painted black would be kinda cool for me since my piping is powdercoated black, however i do like the bling of coated (although that adds to the price, which is a problem for me).

Hope this all works out well!!!!

 

[Alejo_NIN]

yeah, lets just wait for finished product...because not only msps would benefit from it... any FS engine would benefit too

I would vote for a stainless steel/polished finish. Just my opinion. I also like the more uniform look.

 

[susamafone]

i do believe i will sub too

 

[69RMSP]

i concur

 

[arlsmazdaspeed]

I could do the black coating but if the price is right stainless will be the choice to go with .

 

[69RMSP]

Id perfer the black to match my black hardpipes

[Run for Cover]

whats the priceeeeeeeeeeee

 

[mryellermp5]

well

we be subbin'

 

[joka1]

i like the first one personally, oh btw subbin as well

subs

I think if they both have the same gains then really which ever costs less to produce and is easier to produce would be the winner. I also believe that making the coating type an option would benefit msp owners too.

i voted ceramic sporadic. anything is good though id be down as long as she posts numbers n price is right. really would like to have the bling if not i'll just have to get it done myself.
