Well for the price that has been paid for 2 sc manifolds...could have bought the M.E. manifold and never had to worry about it.....I talked to justin@sc yesturday he is still trying to keep up with the orders that have come through....but still makes me think about letting him sell the M.E. stuff

I emailed again. and called earlier today. this is bull! I need a manifold asap.
I never bought a speed corps manifold in the first place. I had a megan evo manifold i got for $50 and welded the old holes shut and drilled new ones. needless to say the runners were like a half inch off on the outside ones and it was really holding back my spooltime and the motors ability to breathe and make good power.

Thanks grind3r...yes the me manifold is custom built to your specs..mig welding a manifold will hold for awhile but if your gonna fix it might as well do it right...no slave clearance issues either

Yeah this place is sketchy. I Got my manifold but when i put the turbo on it it pushes it out to the radiator to much..... sucks but found the manifold that will work with some modification.

yeah i have a 2 row radiator and its like 1/4 inch away.
Got the manifold and put it on today after about an hour of modifying it and tracking down proper hardware.
the bottom left and right holes on the flange were drilled for m8 like all the other studs but those 2 studs are m10 so i had to drill those out. then it still wouldn't go on right so i had to take my factory gasket put it against the flange and found out all the holes but 2 were a bit off. so i just ended up drilling out every hole and even had to do some dremeling.
then i went to install it on the turbo, what do you know that right front stud runs into the collector and the nut wont fit on there so i had to go find hardware to make it work.
this is far from bolt on considering it wasn't even close to bolting on.
Also for those of you who don't know the manifold is a product of M2. and it shipped from "megan racing
i just hope it lasts a while.
