I definitely agree.. JIC has a decent design but it could use improvement.. Its an earlier JIC so it looks a little different than the newer ones.. But I'd jump all over a symmetrical equal length design.

Mental, I am pretty familar with exhaust pulse threory and improved flow from a good designed collector.
I watched the video. Your Manifold was a definite improvement on the stock Mazda log.
From my limited experience and listening to other tuners speak, (Buschur for one), I believe the stock Evo manifold is pretty good.
I even made mine better by cleaning up the casting flash, slight porting/polishing, gasket matching the turbo side and opening up the head side to the same as the exhaust ports, (don't use manifold gasket to match. It's too big).
I don't think you will get such a big gain from the Evo as you did from the Mazda, but I may be wrong.
That's my point. If someone shows me a before/after dyno with an improvement like your Mazda, I could see spending the $.
Got a dyno run in the future?

I have forwarded your questions to the fabricator. There has been good progress on the manifold and it appears we will be testing shortly.

If it's for the STOCK turbo, what's the point of the 4-1 collector? Are you going to somehow ditch the twin scroll design??

Check out these guy's header: http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=472
They make spending $900 seem cheap ($1199). Although it is for aftermarket turbo.
They also have a complete turbo kit in the works for around $4800.

If you're looking for just a manifold, turbo & downpipe, it's actually much less than that. More like $3700.

The EVO VIII direct bolt-in manifold will be 304 stainless steel that is ceramic coated.
The 4-1 pyramid collector is to help exhaust pulse velocity and eliminate turbulance.
We will be posting pictures and dyno results in the coming weeks here:
