Reason why Magnus is the **** and BJ is not...

After maybe 3 months, of unanswered phone calls, 3 mysteriously arrived at our door steps. 2 Talon/Eclipse manifolds (both were bare and had no 2nd rail, etc), and one Evo manifold (which was also bare).
We tried calling again and again. No answer, no returned calls.
Few months down the road we received a call from who I think was either BJ's mother or wife (I can't remember which). She mentioned that she will be taking over our order and will ensure they get shipped out. She also mentioned she would be sending us a couple extra manifolds so that we could stock and sell if someone local needed.
Well, that was maybe 4-5 months ago and we still haven't heard or seen anything from them.

hmmm... seems like no one is perfect... the bjs mani is stackless just ported... and the magnus ones split? geez... what a disaster... i guess the hks nad jun ones are the only viable 238940938 dollar option.

I think when Eric posted those pics on my local forum he said it was a work in progress, but not sure on that. I love the way it looks and going by AMS's reputation I'm sure it works good too.

Since I chimmed in this thread, I might as well ask. What would be the benefits of a intake manifold on a stock turbo EVO?

lovin my magnus, came in the other day overnight man, and my throttle body came in from accufab, now its a mustang throttlebody but was modified for the evo and man is it nice, its like 82mm or somthing like that i think? but very nice piece and the velocity stacks on the magnus are beautiful im just sorta pissed my car has been sittin doing nothing when i coulda had this mani in the first place and now im gonna barely make it to the shootout then it gos back in the shop for another 3 weeks for some interrior work im doin custom and my stereo stuff and to get my IC piping that Matt from Slick Motorsports made (by the way his welds are god, he made my turbokit, i love his manifold nice = length and very heavy duty, the runners are giant thickness wise, he uses 1/8" SS for the manifold runners and they come together perfect at the turbo flange...) So ya Al what kinda power are you getting out of the stock block with 272 cams, 1000cc injectors, full turbokit with intake mani??? i was hopin u could retune my car after the shootout...
