Steam Pipe Manifolds Sold Here On Sau

[s213b]

I've searched, but not found.

About a year and a half ago I remember a bloke on here (from nz rings a bell?) was asking for help on making some steam pipe manifolds for sr's & rb's. he made a few and sold them here priced at about $400 from memory...

Can anyone link me?

Cheers

Why you say this? Out of interest...

because there are a few reported issues with them

Performance or durability related?

Yep understood Thanks!

All i can find is that the are not perfect flat, and putting the Bolts in is quite hard on on the low mount version.

But for that price....taking it to a machine shop and flattening it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

( others say its a ebay manifold just "redone" )

Also issues with the customer service apparently.

[Joshbigt62r]

Customer service is a very big thing in today's world. But some times I can understand why. Some people expect everything for next to nothing. As what was said before. ITS A $350 manifold. What can you really expect Go get it machined for $50 and bobs your uncle. Bolt it up and away you go.

All I can say is I have one and yes there was a few minor issues. But my one was an early version and it is fantastic for the price.

[jay-rod]

well i already planned to get one knowing the issues.

The price + low mount to me = win.

Ill be getting the low mount External gate, i will then get it machined.

I'm still tossing up between 6boobies or Rex Kelways or ETM or Hybrid Perf

^ thanks

The saying 'you get what you pay for' rings true with everything to do with cars... No surprises, but for $350-$400 seems good.

Having said that I've just seen the Rex kelway thread in NS, now to enquire about the cost

6boost or nothing

[scotty nm35]

I would prefer nothing if it means dealing with 6boob. Customer service goes out the window if you ask for anything custom.

There are hundreds of fabricators around the country that could make a decent manifold but none that can do it for $400...

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Rex Kelways does sex work in terms of manifolds. he's willing to customise anything you want... twin scroll, with 2x outlets merged into 1x etc.. but because his work is sexy, it's expensive.

I'm still tossing up with manifolds (thanks to Mr Tax man, my turbo upgrade money is going to him)

[Joshbigt62r]

Do you have any pictures of this Rex kelways work johnnilicte?

Performance or durability related?

As nobody responded to you - durability. Weld slag to be specific, lunched turbine wheel.s

[34GeeTeeTee]

If you want another fabricator for manifolds you could try BRAE....
