Hey guys, just thought i'd let you know about a new manifold option for your RB25s. my stock one cracked and was warped so it was time for a new one. i had the deliema of all these stories of the any low mounts being shit (which they are until now) and obviously any high mount option would require fabrication of parts and intercooler pipes, posible a new manifold....quite a drama.
anyway i went to just jap to pickup an xforce high mount when i spotted the new HPI low mount manifold.
its super quality, the welds are just amazing, the flange that goes on to the head is one peice and very thick...its just a stunning peice of kit!
the pipe are also a lot thicker and larger than all other manifolds.
the biggest design change is that normally all the pipes head down and then up for any low mount design. here we have all the pipes heading up (where there is more room) and then into the collector...(which is made very nicley too by the way)
THIS WAS EXPENSIVE! over $1300-$1500 for this manifold...but you get what you pay for and whn i see quality like this its worth it. i dont ever want to go through this broken studd, blown gasket, warped bit thing again...and hopefully this will allow me to put this area to rest so to speak...
here is a pic of the manifold from HPIs site. its going on the car today so i'll keep you posted as to how the whole experience goes...
