Exactly! The target market for these are going to be the hardcore racers that want to squeeze every ounce of HP out of the stock appearing turbos.

If you can get one of these in the hands of the Fastest / Quickest [Stock Turbo, FP Green, Red, Black etc...] Evo's... and get a dyno comparison as well as proven track ET and MPH gains, then the customers will come. The price ROI (Return on Investment) is the only issue I see here as this manifold is a premium that customers will need to weigh against a ported stocker.

You have much work to do, but I am very impressed with your welding and the quality of the unit. Looks very good!

I really don't think the ROI will be bad with his product...price and quality its probably the cheapest tubular stock manifold out there...now we just need to see some more performance testing...I would still like to see it tested by a 2nd party...AWD seems to enjoy testing products...hell I could talk to Chad @ CBRD and see if he would test one with me...

Not trying to be a dk but I disagree. Why does it have to be a hardcore racer? How many people waist their money on a Megan only to quickly replace it after it fails. They do it for the looks and sound. Surely a quality piece like this one is justifiable to many for many reasons. I for one hate the way the stocker looks and am truly interested in this mani. Yes the stocker performs well but it is straight nasty looking and will never out perform this one. And the ROI you mention is a joke. How many people are buying Volks/Advans when they could buy something 1/3 of the price? There is a market and it doesnt need to be a hardcore racer. Just someone who can appreciate the great looks and performance gains. And the price point is on par or cheaper. As for performance, we all know how it will perform-FANTASTIC. KUDOS to someone willing to take the time and offer us evo owners another option. It looks great Collin.

I completely agree with Brian aka Most-Wanted...you definitely don't have to be a "hardcore racer" to purchase a manifold like this...sure a ported stocker has run 9s but it didn't look nearly as sexy as this and this probably could dropped them a couple tenths deeper into the 9s...

Definitely a work of art. Was a tough choice between the FiD and ToxicFab. Solid dyno data on the FiD and more established vendor tipped the balance. Can't wait to see good dyno data on yours.
