11.9 @ 114Kevin's Hatch
12.2 @ 113Jeremy's DSM
11.8 @ 124 IIRC w/ junk trans -
That looks like shit. How you even can consider that looking "clean" is beyond me. Why halfass shit and use garbage?
Do it right or don't do it at all.

Well i hate to say it but some ppl don't have $300 to spend on a log manifold. or in your case $800+ on a top mount witch is more then some ppl make in a month when there still in school....not saying that it isn't nice to have the best stuff just don't say do it right or don't do it at all. why is it only perfectly tig welded ss manifolds are alowed on cars. when did DIY become the wrong way, idk about you but i would rather see a car built buy the owner then some kid with money that knows nothing but has a SWEET setup that is done right....just pisses me off when ppl thik that there is only one way to do things

Looks way better than all of the external hackjobs on 4G63t mani's i've seen.It wont last. Exhaust manifolds are typically made of cast iron which does not hold a strong weld and will crack over time.

As the saying goes "buy it nice, or buy it twice." It doesn't matter if he buys a manifold from me or from someone else, im giving my input from what i know and what i've seen in the past. I can list @ least 3 or 4 local people who did junkyard style setups and not 1 of them worked out well and a few of them blew up.

It worked OK I guess, but was still a piece of shit and cracked, fell apart, etc.
In this industry you 100% hands down get what you pay for. If you build it yourself, and you use cheap materials, it will fall apart. If you purchase it and it is cheap and THEY use cheap materials, it will fall apart. Building a quality manifold costs more than most think when you calculate in a QUALITY welder, gas, filler, time, materials, flange planing, etc everything adds up.
$300 or so for a manifold with a LIFETIME warranty for the original owner, built with high quality materials and welded w/ high quality equipment is pretty cheap if you ask me.
It's the same as when it comes down to tuning hardware. There is a reason the FAST CARS use EXPENSIVE engine management and not Crome or Uberdata or something else that is either cheap or free. You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
EDIT
Also, I'd rather see a HAPPY CUSTOMER with a setup that WORKS for a long time than a customer with a piece of shit setup that works for a bit but doesn't last.

Looks way better than all of the external hackjobs on 4G63t mani's i've seen.I give that wastegate runner about a week before it cracks at the manifold..if that. Just look at it, it is a pos. Buy an eBay manifold if you don't care if it falls apart:) Atleast it will look good to start!

Well see not everyone makes as much money as you do not saying your rich but you have a good job that pays. your not 17-19 just out of school and want to boost your d15/d16 for some extra power. What your not understanding is that ppl can and HAVE had good setups that were cheaply put together. Also i don't know what your deal is with crome/crome pro, and uberdata but there is no reason to spend $1200 on aem ems when you can get neptune for $600 tuned or free programs. What is really wrong with a FREE tuning program? ppl make tons of power on these programs and have used them racing and on the street.also price doesn't mean shit look at one fab he fucked everyone and charged a shit ton, his manifolds also cracked. so does this mean his shit is the best because it cost $1000? fuck no

CROME and Uberdata work, but i would definatly say they do not work well.
