take a look at this picture, and then you wont have to ask me again.



and to the creator of this thread, please do explain why you think mild steel expands more than stainless steel.

Wow. Um. I don't know what to say. It's one thing to let your products speak for themselves, it's another to completely downgrade your competitors in every way shape or form. I was originally looking to get a full-race, but I'll be thinking about that some more. I'm not sure if I want to deal with a company that resorts to unethical tactics to win their customers over. I believe in an honest and trustworthy business. That's just my 0.02.

ExploitedRacing, the manifold looks like alot of the manifolds out to date. Just like the NA Header industry there's not many ways you can shape or form it without "looking" the same. That's why you get Comptech and Hytech getting at each other's throat.

But welcome to the site. An addition to our family.

why does everyone down this ****. it's like the header market, there's a zillion copies, it's up to the buyer to decide which they want. the entire automotive industry thrives on copies of copies and so forth. stop the bitching.

we run todds manifold.. there is no lack of quality there..... got the manifold and downpipe shipped next day for around 2/3 the price of a full race.. imo you'd be hard pressed to see any difference in power or performance between the 2.

look at the sharp turn at the collector, maybe no one knows anything about fluid dynamics.


I dont work for anyone.

oh wait, i have full-race in my sig, i guess that means I automatically represent them. my bad, lemme go delete that.

look at the awesome numbers gained by an asian casted SS inline pro manifold. with fluid dynamics, the colision of exhaust pulses would be harmful right. but it still works doesnt it. and awesomely at that

not efficiently, lol. and their many stock bottom end 22lb motors on 12:1 fmus and afc's, pushing 450whp doesnt mean anything i suppose. or maybe their 750+hp drag car that runs 9.2 or something now doesnt prove their manifold either. hmmm

i dont thin he was selling it. i think he was introducing it. if he were to have a friend say "hey check out this new manifold" would that be any differnt. this guy just doesnt llike to beat around the bush.

"Recently ive been playing around with some honda parts and i designed this turbo header for the B and D series engines... im going to improve upon the collector in the front more because i dont like how it looks but give me some feed back on what you guys think so far"

thats no sales pitch to me. he shouldve just posted a pic, no a link to the buying page though

I doubt full-race was a paying sponsor before introducing his products. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Not that you have any say in anything, but rules were different back then, Now they are changed.

i was under the impression that threads like these werent suppose to be posted in this forum anymore...

anyway, this thread seems to be coming down to a rota vs. spoon classic deal where people argue about quality vs. price...

you get what you pay for, as usual, and i'm sure that the manifold that this guy is 'advertising' is decent, its not going to be the same as a full race(or other high quality) manifold...
i'd rather spend a little more money in the beggining rather than spending more in the long run when you decide to upgrade to a more efficent, quality manifold.

[/end another "advertisement" for full race )

I'm not going to lock this.... There's a very similiar post right on this very page that is pretty much the EXACT same way, brought out as a feedback type of posts but a subtle for sale message. So I'm going to walk away but if someone wants to lock this, the other post should be locked as well.

Its unfortunate that we cant be introduced to new products on the market without acting like 7 yr olds.

Why not ask the developer of this product:
"what makes your manifold different than Full Race's?"
"Whats with the sharp bend near the collector?"
"as far as I understand, your statement about mild steel is not true. care to elaborate?"

So on and so forth.

I swear to god not every manifold thread has to become a "that looks like full race!" bandwagon bash fest. Everyone could stand to learn a little something by having discussions about these things, rather than stick up for whats hot.

To the originator of this thread...if you would like to sponsor the board, let me know and I will give you the info. You see the market for these manifolds is huge by how many people stick up for their respective choice. Design the product, try to make it the most efficient at the price offered, and go to town. There is your answer.

Maybe in the future instead of deleting these threads altogether, we will just delete single posts and take points away from those people who cant participate in a civil, knowledge-breeding discussion. We shouldnt have to straight up censor manifold threads because a couple dozen people have to stick up for what they have.

That said....lets end the dramatic discussion. Lets learn WHY this manifold may not be the best choice. I dont expect Geoff or Cody to come in here critiquing if they dont want to, but hopefully we can all learn more from these threads.

We KNOW Cody & Geoffs **** is excellent. And people will still continue to get them because they ARE top notch products. At the end of the day, without the drama, these threads are informative to the community and benefit the members, so we should be able to have these discussions without issues. If anyone has a serious problem with this, PM me.
