MSP Exhaust Manifold Design - Input Needed!

[Wbriggs19061]

yea that price is alittle outta my range to for just the manifold..maybe if they had a manifold and downpipe combo for that..

 

[69RMSP]

Guys that price 1150, is from another shop. This thread is about a diff shop so no worries about that price..

 

[Wbriggs19061]

oh s*** ur right i just went back a read it..lol..hopefully yashart mp3's shop is near philly somewhere..closer to me lol

 

[210_ZOOM]

[igdrasil]

yeah, way overpriced. Even the manifold sold here from the 600whp FSDE builder cost $650

Well I know a shop online that is gauging interest on this subject. If interest is good enough then they plan on making them aimed at no more than $599.99. Maybe less.

 

[redline7500]

defenatly interested will buy it as soon as it hits production and of coarse when I have the money at hand. No worrys already saving.

well yashart has said that the prototype mani is currently in production, and should be done soon. He's not just sitting on his ass or anything (well i guess he kind of is, because its the shop that we're waiting on, but you know what i mean). If you can't wait that long maybe you should go find a shop to make you a custom mani?? Not trying to attack you, but you really shouldn't be upset that this guy is trying to get more aftermarket parts made for our cars.

I'm sure yashart_mp3 is going to shine some light on us soon.

well not really taking it as an attack but i know what you mean its jus fustrating cuz i live on the big island of hawaii i don't have that kinda luxuries here so i have to depend on the mainland folks to build stuff like that. also since he's getting the prototype and i appreciate all the stuff he's tryin to help us out on but like to be updated cuz i thought he was supposed to have the mani already? i mean if didn't come in yet keep us posted we are all dyin for it, well maybe not we but i am. Oh and also not mad its kinda hard to show sarcasm when your typin(glare) . no real facial expression can be shown.

$1150 is a bit much. even with today's ss prices. I will pay cash for whomever brings the first one to market. Howabout that? But, the O2 bung needs to be in the stock location, and in the pyramid, not in one of the runners, needs to fit with stock pipes, and who cares about coating? I'll get that done. without coating, the mani shouldn't cost over $750 shipped.

just to make sure you know, there has been talk of two different manis in this thread... yashart is having one made that will hopefully be cheaper, and someone else is going for a more pricey one.

Disagree this is a "bit much" for custom designed hand-fabbed full SUS turbo manifold. But thats your opinion, and you dont have to buy one. Elaborate on the O2 sensor please, I dont believe the MAM manifolds even had one. This piece is a thing of beauty and needs no coating!

 

[69RMSP]

Personally I wouldnt mind something like the OBX mani.

 

[MSpeed2397]

I believe that she's saying the O2 reading will be more accurate if the sensor bung is placed in a different spot on the mani (being next to the pyramid collector), but in the same spot as far as the engine bay is concerned (no wire cutting/splicing). Correct me if I'm wrog Britt.

Well, first off, I'm a guy, my avitar is my now ex-wife, my best friend.

You're right, I don't have to buy one. But I didn't have to buy a MAM one either. That cost her almost $900 and I now have nothing to show for it. It did have an O2 sensor bung, you had to relocate the sensor to the left side of the manifold.

I know there are two different manifolds being discussed here, it's thread jacking...

"Thing of beauty and needs no coating" What are you talking about? An imaginary manifold? How is it a thing of beauty when no one has seen it yet? Whatever.

The MAM O2 sensor placement was in the #1 cylinder runner, above the merge point inside the manifold. I would like to see a true bolt on replacement as the MAM was advertised, but it was not.

As I said before, cash for whichever quality part that comes to market first - coated or uncoated.

BTW, not including his labor, I know exactly how much Beau had into each manifold for materials, so I can judge what a fair price is.

Would I pay $1200? At this point, probably. But that doesn't mean that it should cost that much, we're just a captive audience.
