***Revised for 2011 - Evo 8/9 Stock Replacement Manifold!!!***

Recently revised with tighter radius 90's and overall better runner design. This thing is super light, and should make for great mid range power.














Retail is $979, but pm me for EvoM pricing.

Thanks!

Looks nice!

Won't the tighter radii decrease exhaust gas velocity?

Not necessarily. The guys that run our EvoX manifolds love them. The smaller diameter runners keep velocity up.

Any pics of the collector? Looks pretty good...That middle manifold to head nut looks like it would be a real bi*ch to get too...haha...Should we expect to see any dyno results compared to your old manifold?

There's an easy trick to it. Keep the manifold spaced away from the head and start threading all the nuts on at once. That should make it a lot easier.

If we get a local car to test it for us I will gladly post up dyno sheets.

Need to see a dyno comparison vs. a ported OEM mani. How can anyone buy one without knowing exactly what it is going to do to the powerband? A lot of $$ if it doesn't provide a significant HP increase at least somewhere in the RPM range. . .

You could say that about a lot of different manifolds, and sorry but I don't have the time or the money to buy every manifold some guy wants me to test mine against. You're gonna have to take my two independent tests for what they're worth. If you like what you see, then buy my manifold, if not... Don't.

I don't want you to "buy every manifold". I want to see proof that this manifold performs better than stock. That's pretty simple and basic. Back in the day when Buschur develped his staged upgrades he tested every single part he developed vs. OEM to prove they made more power. Any legit manufacturer of performance parts does the same. . .

Show us the results of the back to back tests vs. the OEM manifold. If your mani truly does show gains it will greatly increase your sales. How can you sell a part without YOU testing it first to be sure it actually is an improvement over stock?

Like I said, I don't have the time or the money to test it like that. But like I also said I have two manifolds out for testing. Two different cars, two different set ups with baselines that I can get two different sets of data from. Dunno how you could ask for anything better.
