I'm not sure, I've never had to pay any import tax on anything. I guess because everything I've gotten is listed as a gift with a low declared value. You can go that route if you want but you're there are issues with that..

Hey guys, I was just curious.. Does anyone have an idea on an ETA for the manifolds? I'm not exactly sure when he shipped them, and with thanksgiving and all... Well I was just wondering...

Thanks-Max

Not sure but I'll email him tonight. Did everyone get back to him about the shipping? Also Kyle wants you guys to know that the import tax has nothing to do with him..

Post by **toadx8u** » Sun Nov 30, 2008 1:04 pm

sorry guys i have talked to kyle several times but didnt really think to post anything... this is the last tid bit we had discussed...i made mention to him that lovefab was the closest we have to choose from him in price...

"Wow, I went and looked at that lovefab stuf....... If you think his stuff is alright, your gonna have a heart attack with excitement when you see my manifold lol. The only 2 things his stuff has going for it is they are "pretty looking" stainless like a full race, but thats also their downside, stainless is terrible as a manifold material, and he uses merge collectors. His welding is pretty poor, the head plates he has are terrible with no porting work to finish them off, on some of his NSX stuff there is even big vise marks in the pipe. Yuk:-P Its a shame that so many people are concerned with looks, the stainless really does look trick, but thats about where its advantages end. Ahhhhhh, if only performance sold manifolds and not price/looks:-) Your manifold has been sent Todd, you should get it by mid/late this week. I'll email everyone tracking details tomorrow night. Regards.......................Kyle "

keep in mind mine was the last one made since it was made incorrectly the first time...that means most of you guys should recieve them early this week

Post by **eh?** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 3:10 am

Ok Kyle says everyone should receive their manifold by the end of this week. When he gets a chance he will email everyone their shipping info.

Which ceramic coating are you gonna use? I wanted to do it myself but I've read you need to sand blast the part and even so the coating isn't very durable. Take some pics when your done, I'd like to see it.

Colorguard White reduces temperatures under the hood and on the exhaust manifold surface. Colorguard also improves exhaust gas velocity and increases horsepower. No oven baking required. Shops bake at 750F for full cure.

Holy crap its here!

Post by **toadx8u** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 6:11 pm

duty cost?

Post by **sci2000tech** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 6:32 pm

Mine arrived as well. No duty fee.

I went to mount it on my motor and it seems like the very bottom of the manifold is hitting the motor mount just enough to keep it from bolting up all the way

It is dark now, so I'll see what it is hitting for sure tomorrow and report back.

Other than that, the quality is amazing.

Post by **DriftingisLame** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 7:48 pm

Do you have a crossmember or mount kit?

What style of manifold did you get?

I didnt get charged any fees either

Post by **sci2000tech** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:03 pm

I am running the crossmember, although I do have a set of mckinny mounts laying around somewhere.

I ordered a forward position manifold, but am 90% sure I was sent a standard one. I'm indifferent either way, so that doesn't really matter. I'll get some pics of it tomorrow. I already have it mocked up with the turbo bolted on.

Reading on some australian forums regarding 6 boost...

Anyone catch this thread about a 1j switching to the 6boost mani?

Mine came in with no duties as well. It actually showed up right after I hit send on my post asking how much duties were, haha.

Post by **sci2000tech** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 6:58 am

So it turns out my manifold was hitting this stupid, useless-looking piece of metal connected to the motor mount. Not sure how else to really describe it, but all 3 of my rb20 blocks have it.

Here are some crappy cell pics. I'll grab my camera from work and get some real pictures when I get home so you can actually tell what you are looking at.

The part it was hitting.

After carefully beating the crap out of it with a hammer.

All done...
