Muse Motorsports Manifold

Hello All,

Anyone rockin the Muse Manifold? Its basically a ported stock cast manifold. My search had limited results but I know you can pick them up for about $150 shipped on eBay.

I think its great if you can avoid downtime if your Evo is a DD, plus can't go wrong with cast. Price ain't bad either.

Your thoughts...

I bought one and it looks like a nice piece. I plan on taking some measurements of stock and the muse once I exchange them.

Now why would you buy this when you can send the stock one out to get ported and coated for less

One of my friends got that manifold. The porting is extremely well done. Its the same porting as any shop would do. Its ported as far down the runners as possible.
He hasnt had very long so I cant say anything about quality of it but it is cast so it should be fine

Please tell me your joking . Its a day turn around. Its a hour tops. If they say its going to take longer there pulling your joc. Or they dont have the right porting tools to get the job done.

What about coating? Still think it will take 1 day for porting and coating?

What could possibly happen to a cast iron manifold?

After the port you take it to the coating place they will have it done by the end of the day. Have you guys never done this before you think where still in the 90's or something where porting is done by hand they got industrial machines to do the work for them they just guild the part in.
