Has anyone actually used this manifold yet?

I'll be buying a manifold for my turbo project within a week, and I'm still undecided on manifolds. I had decided on a manifold from http://www.etdracing.com/, but the development on it won't be done for a few months.

The only other options I know of in the $400-$500 range are the revhard and realnissan manifold.

I've heard some bad things about the revhard manifold, but haven't heard anything about realnissan's. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I have not seen any post where anyone has used them.

Sorry I am no help. I too would like to know how they do.

there was a recent thread about them that someone said they looked liek they wouldn't flow that well. Looks just like the revhard. I woudl go with revhard since they seem to be both cast. The unstable just looks coated. Plus revhard has redesigned their manifold from what I hear and all new ones ordered are the second gen. Is this tru people?

The UH manifold is not cast. It looks like it is made from weldels. I heard that revhard was redesigning their manifold, but I didn't know it was done yet.

Wasn't F-max or N Sport willing to sell the manifold seperate from the system?

Thinking like it was N Sport.

You can order the F-Max manifold and downpipe separately...

$650 for the manifold$350 for the downpipe

A little high in my opinion, but there aren't many choices out there. Those prices were from http://www.turbokits.com, so there might be a chance of getting them cheaper if F-Max would answer any of their e-mails. I believe they were just bought out by Turbonetics, so that might be why.

that UH manifold looks like real crummy welds...The revHard is cast that is for sure, I seen one in person...not to special...the UH one looks like it may flow better but I would put in in my car is looks like crap...

That EDT Manifold they show for the 1.8 Miati looks sweet...I can't tell if it is Stainless? I would wait n go with them if you got the time to wait...I bet it will give more power alos looks to have equal lenght runners which is a great thing...

F-MAX cast manifold? if it is it cost them 5 dollars to make...for 650 you can get a sweet custom Stainless Steel Manifold and get real power...
