Psssshhh, No...That's the problem. Would be nice to get a rough idea what people will see. Back to back dynos on a stock vs FP one. We understand environments, etc...blah blah blah are different. Rough estimate of 10-25whp would be nice to see just bolting it on. Then a tune estimate of 30-40whp. I'm just throwing out numbers and so can the manufacturer and we can't hold it against them.
I guess it's better to just get more personal numbers once we buy them and do a review. We can all agree to disagree B@#$%s!

I would think the market for this product would be owners looking to go upgrade from an OEM manifold. I suppose it would be a nice comparison when choosing between this and a tubular, but not sure if that's really apples to apples.
I'd like to see a comparision between OEM non-ported to FP mani AND OEM ported to FP mani.

Link to said numbers? I tried searching with no luck...

I'd consider it if I had cooperation of a dyno facility that wouldnt rape me. Someone would also need to loan a ported manifold to me for comparison. Typical dyno fee's plus buying the manifold > cost of a tubular....

I would consider dyno testing one of these, if I can get one in my hands. A local has already pre ordered and is waiting for his. Hopefully well get to test that. Also, I may hit up FP and see if I can get one for testing.

I am still waiting on one of the preorders to arrive, and I doubt with my upcoming cruise looming in FEB, that I will be able to get it on the car and get on a dyno before then... I have one of the old school Muse "ported" cast manifolds on the car now... not to mention it is my daily, and I haven't had the turbo off the car in 4 years, I am bound to break a bolt...

With gains over a manifold that costs twice the price, I think the market for this manifold is everyone. CBRE agrees.

Speaking of doorstep I hope mine arrives sooner than later.... I am a little dissapointed that they did not email the pre-order buyers about the issue with the hardware. There are still no real solid reports on results with this manifold. Nobody is expecting it to make magic power but at least show something to verify an improvement on performance.

Mike @ FP, any update on production? If I order one today, when should I expect shipment?

I have a stock manifold on my car now. I have a Buschur ported stock manifold sitting on the self and an FP ported manifold on order. I'd be glad to lend the car and manifolds for testing. I just need a reputable shop to strap it on a dyno.

Any shops in ATL want to help install and dyno it on my totally stock EVO IX? We can replace the stock manifold and install the FP one doing back to back dynos. No tune and then with a tune to see some gains.
How bout flowbench? Anyone have one of those to test and see how much cfm goes through to compare against a stock non-port manifold?
Yeah, who would be that generous around Christmas time.
