Hi guys

I am in the market for a top mount steam pipe manifold with 44mm external pipe. I dont want a cheap <$500 one with terrible design and collectors like scrambled eggs. I am aware of 6 boost etc that offer good manifolds for >$1500,but surely there is a few people making manifolds for around the $900-1000 mark.

I'm looking at Go Pipes on facebook at the moment but would like more options. The main thing I want is neat even collector point.

Last I checked 6-boost and ETM were both 1200-1300.

I have 2 mates who jumped on the merge collecor band wagon. Both which do them for the 800-900 dollar mark.

But my advice is go with 6 boost or ETM

They're are much neater and better fitting than the cheaper ones

your willing to spend $1000 on a manifold but not $200-$300 more on a 6boost?

I dont understand, they are amazing manifolds, proven over and over to increase response and power

Just remember $200 wont seem like much later on when/if you regret buying a different manifold

Post up some pics of the manifold when you get it.

EDIT: just saw your post...... just go with the 6boost!!! $1300 is cheap.... Manifolds like mine go for $2500USD in the states. And from what i gather 6boost manifolds are like $2k!

I probably woulda dished out the extra $200-$300 for the 6boost but I haven't seen the Gopipes manifolds before.

Do they build them out of cast SS weld-el's? Fully backpurged? ported? what diameter runners?

My buddy just finished fabbing up my manifold this week. Twin Scroll T4, 2in diameter Runners, fully backpurged and ported. He build the collector himself instead of getting those dumb 6-1 premade ones. just need to place the gate this weekend and take it for ceramic coating.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
