this time last year, we ordered a borla mani for a customer. When it came it, we were shocked at thickness of the material and of the finish. The customer refused the item and we ended up sending it back get getting a refund... and that was the turning point for us - after that, we decided to make our own stuff and back our sheat up with great customer service and good quality control.

Every one of our customers have been giving us props for the quality of the manifold, and if there's any issues, we take care of it right away. Every one of the manifolds that we've put on at our shop has proven power gains and/or quicker spool up. And we are getting the same results from remote customers as well.

feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.

cheers.
mike

He is on the right track!

Send your manifold my way and I will be sure it is properly ported If you don't have a core to start from, no worries, I have plenty.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

The Borla is an amazing manifold. I am one of the few who run it. If you can get your hands on one great. I have logged it against almost every manifold except the full race and mynes. Lets face those two manifolds are just too expensive. The Borla will out perform any manifold that is out disregarding those two.

there are a lot of good products out there for the evo, the consumers will just have to pick and choose the one that fits their needs. The borla we purchased last year (and returned) were in the mid-$600 range; i see now they are close to $700.00 retail ...

They no longer make them. I don't know if companies still have some but ever since Buschur claimed that all manifolds suck but a ported and fullrace most sales on manifolds came to a stand still. I have done many logs to prove him wrong. Still though $1200 for your manifold. Have any graphs of gains? If you wanna send one my way 4 wheel slide and I will dyno it against a ported stocker and the borla. I'd put money on it the borla outperforms fullrace but your piece looks really nice.

There are many dyno graphs located in the original thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=303683

We've experience double-digit gains in whp/wtqe; the highest was +24whp on an evo 8 (2005 with Tomei 280's). The car had basic mods and with Tomei 280s; w/o touching the tune, we only changed out the mani, and it' gained 24whp.

BTW, our mani is $625 + shipping... not $1200
