Frank, don't be ashamed of that at all. That's what a quality manifold cost... $1,000-$1,200.

+1 that sounds about right to me. If I wasn't invested in my DHM set up already I would be looking to go EFR as well.

Unfortunately, I have my heart set on a GTX2860 now.

I seriously cannot wait to see what your set up does.

I wasn't implying that he paid a lot for it, as it looks like a top notch quality piece. It's just when you start adding up parts, it's just another $1,000 added to the till. I hope it adds some good power to the mix. With Frank's new setup, it will be hard to know how much power and spool it adds, but definitely a quality piece. Wasn't trying to say it wasn't worth it.

I'm not ashamed at all lol.. I had to do something to get my big turbo spooling right. Bryans ported manifold is a nice, affordable option, but I don't think it would cut it for my new turbo. I was going to use a pumaspeed quickspool manifold, but as you can see from the side by side pics, it's not going to do much better than a ported manifold. I wanted big runners, T3 flange, and the wastegate placed there. That's why I decided to go custom. Now I'll need to have the guy installing my turbo do chop up and Frankenstein my ATP downpipe. At the end of the day, a deadhook kit would've been simpler, but I'm not a simple guy. I may have saved ~500-1000 over a DHM kit, but it was a total headache piecing this thing together and figuring out how to make it all work. It's not for everyone, but I love the challenge.

That manifold is beautiful! Your setup is gonna rip. If ur done b4 the season is up i'll MAKE the time to meet at the strip and see this lil beast break 12s!

 

[M-Sport fan]

That price is not bad AT ALL for a fully custom, 'from scratch', 304 stainless, very high flowing, manifold!

I wonder what a fully custom, made to work perfectly with your setup, down pipe would run?

 

[frankiefiesta]

Little update.. it clears! Can't wait to have it on and dyno tuned by russ next month! So excited

 

[BronxBomber]

Always a pleasure to see the work coming out of your shop! It's truly tragic that it all goes hidden.
