I'm very interested but it will all depend on the price, the gains and when/how long it is available. I wont have money till around Christmas so if this is a one time thing that has to be paid before/around that time then I guess I wont be able to get one. I do need a new mani one way or the other though and it is between this one and another one that isn't finished yet from a certain company down south that is banned from this forum.

just to throw another option is the Thunder mani from Protophile
i've asked Leen to get us a price point - he will not know the gains unless someone on the boards is willing to dino the manifold. i'm in the middle of a build so i cant help out in that area. i have asked however for a flow test comparison between the stock mani and his.
the reason for this list is to find out if there are still people interested in this product. at one point everyone needed a manifold which is why Leen offered to help the Protege community. i can say with certainty that it will be insanely high quality. im currently working to make his inline BOV work with a MAF sensor. the quality of that product is amazing. this is why i have asked him to design a replacement mani. it may not be tubular but it will last and be unique!
my guess is there will be a limited run of 5-10 manifolds. if interest continues i'm sure he would do another run.

I am interested in the product if it shows a gain over my current set-up, and this is just a feeler

Thank you for the suggestion. I watched that mani from the beginning of the GI thread and just didn't like how it turned out. Great price but then again it looks cheaper than what I want. So it will either be this one or the other forums mani which is going to be listed closer to $900 but with the forum member discount be available for a lil bit more than this one. But the other one has been in the works for almost a year and still isn't finished (they do things slower down south you know) so at this point I'm leaning towards this Steed Speed one. Not to mention from what I've seen so far this mani in my opinion is going to be the best looking one so as I said before I'm very interested and will add myself to the list.

assumed
just curious - who is making the other mani? if it is slsecret then my assumption is that a thieving someone is helping them design it. these are assumptions of course but even the very idea that they might be trying to sell a certain someones' product, which is all ready owed to many, is plain s***. i got screwed on the MAM manifold like a lot of others. that is another reason why i sought out Lean and asked him to make one. i know Lean is straight up and has a passion for what he does. he can also deliver a product which you think wouldn't be that hard given that people do it every day.
i don’t know much about the other mani but if the situation is at all a bit shady, stay clear.

I believe GhostOne is referring to Cullen over at SU. He has been trying to source a company to make a manifold for the MSP for over a year now. He successfully found a company to make one, but it was pure ass. He then found a different company to a better manifold, but the process has been extremely slow. That manifold has probably been "in progess" for the last 6 months....
ah - so I stirred up all those old emotions for nothing - more power to him. it would be nice to have a few options. yashart_mp3, you still working on a protege? thought you were unloading all your parts? speaking of which is the head all paid for? i'm about due for one (shady)

I am right there with you buddy. I went through the whole MAM manifold fiasco as well. Like you said, if there is one thing I learned from that experience, is if it seems a little fishy, stay clear!
Concerning the car, I'm actually going to keep it. I decided it would be wiser to continue saving for a home, rather than buy that lexus I had my eye on (and still do
) I've been doing small mods (smic, intake, midpipe, etc); pretty much making the stock turbo system as efficient as possible, without increasing boost, and keeping the car reliable.
The head actually still isn't paid off... Damian has been going through some rough times, so I'm patiently waiting/holding for him. He has one more payment to make, and then its all his. If anything changes, you'll be the first to know!

My bad, I forgot there was more than one previous vendor on here that has been banned. I was talking about good old SU down in FL.
