Thanks for the elaboration, Britt. I know you are a guy....never having actually seeing a MAM manifold, I wasnt aware of the O2 bung, only the egr fitting. Me thinks it could be positioned at the merge collector, doesnt seem to be a problem there. I will take some pictures of other models of these manifolds that have been manufactured and post them here. In negotiations right now for one for a MSP. Britt, PM me....
 
These are pictures of a custom manifold this shop will do, and are representative of what the Protege will look like except more of a ram-horm style. This one is polished and is fine in fit and finish....

Look pretty good - keep us informed. Definitely check on the EGR and O2 bungs as well...

That's top-notch work.

that looks sexy to me also is it equal length mani with pyramid and will it leave all the msp turbo stuff in stock location?
 
Earful,

I appreciate you wanting to help the community by having a manifold made as well. However, my information is getting confused with your information. Please start your own thread with details pertaining to your manifold.

Also, please remove the picture of your manifold. What you posted, as you said "is a representation" of what your manifold will look like. That "representation" you posted can be found on ebay: Seen HERE

Once again, I appreciate your willingness to help, but I do not want my manifold getting confused with yours.


Now for an Update for everyone else:

As it turns out, I never recieved the manifold from the manufacturer. He is either blowing hot air up my ass, or dragging his feet more than what I find to be acceptable. (pissed) I will continue to "wait" for his manifold to finish being produced, but in the meanwhile, I am going to have another company start fabbing one up as well. I have sourced another MSP manifold which I will be dropping off at the new shop shortly.

On my behalf, I appologize for the delays. Although it is out of my control, I am trying my hardest to get a manifold in production ASAP. There are a lot, behind the scenes, trying to make this happen. Thanks again for your patience, support, and understanding.
 
The goal is to fabricate a direct replacement for the MSP...but this could be used on all FS-DE, i.e P5....I have contacted Antoine and am waiting on some administrative stuff. These will be available on a per-order based basis...
 
so in other words you can get it in ebay for $125 or from this one guy for $1150.....I think somebody is trying to make a quick buck or they are full of s***.

Definitely let us know when you have a thread set up for it. I'm sure I'll be fine with my MSP manifold for a while but it's always good to know what's out there for upgrades.

Yes....yashart_mp3...that manifold I posted is definately a 240SX one...but not a imported POS like the link you included. Look at the welds...not the same! The last thing I want to do is confuse this thread, I am sorry you feel this way, I dont get the impression others were confused, but I wont be starting another thread on this. Just trying to help the Protege community with more choices. The shop that is doing these has not fabbed one yet, and they arent for "production". This shops work is nationally known, you can find the individual fabbing these featured in the Haynes Xtreme Customizing series for the Honda Civic

Sorry for the confusion...

As I said before, I appreciate you trying to help the community as well.

That being said, I already know what the goal is. We share the same goal. However, I am not trying to mislead people or give anything but the truth. What you posted, were pics of a manifold that can be found on ebay. To me, that is misrepresentation. How can you say that a $1100 manifold is going to look like a $130 manifold found on ebay? I do not want people thinking that I am having ebay quality parts produced.

I asked nicely and do not want to start a flame war. Please start your own GI thread with details for your product there. Thank you
 
Earful: yashart is not trying to be an ass, just trying to keep his thread on topic and free of confusion. Totally understandable as that's what I did when I was thinking of getting a custom mani fabricated. You should start your own thread for a GI topic anyways.
 
earful unless you have something regarding yasharts manifold to talk about, then you should make your own thread for your manifold. since yash is waiting on the manufacturer you have kind of taken over and diluted his thread. oh and it is confusing with all the quoted numbers flying around and what not.
 
wow this thread should be deleted then yashart should start a new one cause now i dont know whos talking about what manifold and the prices for what manifold and pics for what maifold
