We still do make some stuff for David here and there.

I don't have experience with the above listed kits other than my own, AMS's, and Buschurs. Either of those three I know that you can't go wrong with. I have zero experience with Full Race's Evo manifold, but some of there Honda stuff I've dealt with has been of very good quality. I'm not going to sit here and attempt to convice you guys my is better than all of the above, truth is you need to educate yourself a little on what your looking for, how much you want to spend, and who you are comfortable dealing with. Make some phone calls and ask some questions.

Of course I favor my kit and I'll give you some of the reasons why it stands out...
-Our manifolds carry a lifetime warranty, are of top notch construction, and have made rediculous amounts of power. There are over 300 Shearer Fab manifolds out there running around and have yet to have one come back cracked. Not many, if anyone, can say the same about there headers.
-All fasteners in the kit are of Stainless Steel material. Not the cheap dime store bolts some other kits use.
-New gaskets are supplied for the exhaust manifold, turbine inlet gasket, and downpipe.
-All water fittings use AN fittings for connections.
-Comes with a true 3" o2 housing and includes a Stainless Steel V-band connection for the downpipe. The V-Band flanges use a male/female type connection for a leak free seal and comes with a quick release style clamp. This is pure sex IMO, I love it.
-Also uses a 3" mandrel bent downpipe that connects to the factory cat location and mates up to the o2 housing with the aforementioned v-band connection.
-Compact design allow the use of upgraded radiators without issue.
-Comes 90% assembled for a simple installation.

Those are a few of the things that make it stand out. Of course it includes all of the standard stuff such as intake tube & filter, oil lines, wastegate & dump tube, etc...

It spools great. It's nothing custom, lol. Just an innovative dbb gts66. I had a full t4 turbo on my old b16 honda, so I'm use to a lil lag, lol. The shearer setup you're considering sounds like a great option. If I didn't have full-race, I would definitely go with shearer.

Just checked your site, very nice (especially the girlie pics ) but I have one question/suggestion - can you put an octane number next to your HP figures quoted for your kits? For example your 50 trim kit is quoted as being good for 430hp. It would be cool if you could provide an estimate on pump gas and race gas both.

Shearer I have a question. As far as your lifetime manifold warrenty, would you still honor it if I would have it coated by Swain?

Also do you offer a t4 37r kit? A.R. options? Price? Sorry website is not working for me right now. Thanks.
