Another setback on race manifold.

[IowaRB240SX]

Well, as some of you have read, I am working on a log style race manifold for RB motors. Starting with the 25. I ordered velocity stacks back on June 6th for said manifolds. I just recieved them yesterday and what a JOKE! They are super thin material and remind me of a sink drain. One that obviosly cut apart to look like a velocity stack. They were CAST! Not billet like requested. The people I bought these from say they use them to make their race manifolds. My reply was, "I wouldn't use these to hop up my lawn mower!". I am currently in contact with a new company trying to get a good price from them for theirs. Hopefully the will be faster too.

So as soon as I get some good ones here, the project will continue and I will be selling them. The estimated price may go up $50 to $75 to compensate for the price difference of the new stacks. Putting the finished product around the $500 range. I am still planning on getting it flow bench tested before selling any.

damn thats gay.. just keep us posted, i might be interested on the finished product!

Just check out my profile and email me. I have been saving the ones interested and as soon as I get one finished with the flow chart, I will email it directly to everyone.

That sux! So Itake it that you are working on a top mount manifold, since its racing style? Let us know I'm very interested!

Since he's referring to velocity stacks and flow bench testing, I'm going out on a limb and saying that he's talking about an intake manifold, not exhaust.

yeah hes making an intake plenum

here is a photo of the ones i get made for the intakes/plenums i make.they are hand made by a metal spinner and are about 1.6mm in thickness. thick enough for a decent welder to weld to any thickness material.

they are about $AUS15 or $US11 each.

Hook me up with their contact info. I am still shopping for a good deal on quality stacks.
