Cast?

 

Cast?

Cast, sure. Tubular would count, too, as long as its HIGH quality as stated previously. Everything I've seen so far has been mediocre at best except for the manifold on Jon's Focus. And really, I'm not talking one-off units. I would like to see or find about production pieces that are out in the market.

I'm sure there has to be something out there better than the cracked tubular logs that I've seen. Right?

Lemme hear about them!

 

Sorry read that wrong thought your were asking if there is interest. A cast one would be nice but what flange would be best to have on it?

 

there ar a few from the uk that are nice and tom has made a few very nice ones

Well, it would be nice to have options. For example we have our cast turbo manifold for the Duratec with either a T25 or T3 flange.

Who from the UK?

And I've seen Tom's manfolds. Not the best quality and are prone to cracking. I'm looking for HIGH quality. Like stainless tubing with stainless flanges or fully cast.

Pretty nice, pretty nice. So who makes it?

oh yea i hear toms coming out with a new one next month for the ZX3 , SVT , and Duratec so we will see what new stuff teh foci world has to give :evilgrin:

 

What about the factory original on the RS?
I have seen those and you can't beat factory for fit and finish.

 

This one's pretty nice. :lol:

Yes your exactly right. Tom WILL have a cast manifold out for the ZETEC, SVT AND duratec. They will be ready within 30 days and I can tell you this, there NICE quality pieces....Keep ypur eyes peeled soon....

Here's mine it's a log style all stainless. We used cast schedule 40 elbows and tee's so hopefully it wont't ever crack. They are some nice beefy units that had the same bore as the exhaust port so no bottle necking down. But it was a one off also.

I'm guessing they'll be of the same shoddy quality as all his previous manifolds. :dunno:



Seriously... how many have cracked?

 

Can we keep this on topic without starting drama every time somebody mentions Tom.

 

What about the one for the SCC SVT? Is that something that can be adapted for production?

Leave it to you to clutter up all these threads with your pompious opioniated useless comments. Why of course.....We all know hes known for his shoddy craftsmanship.... Maybe thats why hes making cast ones now? HMMMM I DUNNO....

Yup, that's the one. I was thinking they had needed to get the manifold fabbed up as well, but I just went back and checked and it was just the downpipe and whatnot. Thanks for pointing that out :thumbup:

How about Gude? They're not really producing a kit anymore are they?



e-duck

I keed, I keed!

The topic was who makes good manifolds. How is my pointing out that you're referencing a builder that has had less than stellar track record when it comes to durability of product useless?

Shall I point out that he is still in debt for his failure to pay his sponsorship obligation to this website?

Or shall I just leave it at your unnecessary personal attack on me?

Not necessary at all to point out something that is completely irrelevent.

No need to stir the pot when no bashings/attacks have been thrown out.

Besides, FJ's finances are of no concern when talking of turbo manifolds

Back on topic...
