Yes you can still pay for the gasket.

Have you gotten yours yet? Kyle said mine should be here soon. Did you guys have to sign for your package or did they drop it off?

Luckily I drilled and tapped the front oil drain line while I had my head apart so I could replace that line with -10AN without issue.

Sorry man, but try again today. I got a reply from him last night. I'm sure it's just held up somewhere.

I got my manifold today, it was delivered by UPS. Man this thing is sick, it must weigh 4x more than the ssac manifold.

It's the silver ceramic coating option, man this thing is beautiful. Have a little bit of clearance problem with the mount, will have to grind it down a bit. My 5 bolt t3 turbine housing has just enough clearance to fit, just have to screw in the 2 aft studs after I get the turbo on.

IF anyone is using the Cometic exhaust gasket: I recommend removing the retaining rivets before you install the manifold, the rivets will interfere with the manifold flange and it may not seal well.

Well to be fair it will work with the stock manifold fine, it's just on the custom manifolds where the head flange is just one single piece the rivets will interfere with the extra material.

I emailed Eric about it, I don't know if this is a custom gasket or an off the shelf piece.

damn I have seen these threads (this && darius' build thread), and this manifold looks awesome.

If I wasn't already drained because of my suspension upgrades I would have picked one of these up for when I do start a turbo upgrade. The quality is SICK and I can honestly say I have never really seen an exhaust manifold look so good.

Awesome product Kyle/6boost. I just want to know how much one of these will probably run me in about a year (that's when I am probably gonna start doing a rebuild of my motor, or collecting parts at least.)

Depends on the exchange rate. Figure about $1000 or so shipped

This thread is almost a year old since the last post. Since then, the US dollar has become more worthless than it already was. The price will be almost USD$1000 shipped.

I am going to go ahead and lay this out one more time, because it is annoying to see this thread bumped so often.

The reason the manifold was so cheap back when the group buy was done was not just due to the group buy... the exchange rate was in our favor.

You will NOT be able to purchase another manifold for under 1,200ish as stated above, even in a group buy scenario.

Actually would be about $1065 shipped + customs which isn't too bad compared to other top mount manifolds available stateside.

I totally agree that 1,200 is reasonable for this manifold... however just wanted to clarify that these would not be available for the ridiculously awesome price of 730!
