so i contacted spoolin a couple weeks ago and we were talking about this and that. and i have been wanting one of his manifolds for a while, i think his work is awesome. he sent me a pic of a manifold he was working on called the "alien". i instantly wanted one, because it was something different than the norm, i have had plenty of manifolds, and i really ljust liked the look of this one. it is coated a dark grey which happens to match my ghey mugen valvecover too!

CLIFF NOTES:

1. AWESOME work
2. great welds
3. included all studs/bolts/hardware/etc
4. fast shipping, and packaged well


(does that say pimpin, oh it says spoolin!)

 

Looks sweet. Is that sucka braced/supported at all?

Nice purchase

 

looks very good and unique

 

great to see your car getting back together mike. when should it be back on the road?

 

I like the design... but wouldn't runner 1 create a small problem with it being so much shorter than the others?

i dont think it will be that much of an issue, i went from a cast log to a completely equal length manifold, and didnt notice all THAT much of a crazy HP jump. so i really dont mind, nor do i think it will cause any craziness, the merge collector is great looking and merges very well.

well your other thread stated you wanted better spool time....and now you don't care?

 

Lookin great Mike... Now lets see it tuned with the new snail on it, and running 10s at track day

 

that looks like a nice manifold, but it resembles the MP manifold from that vegas shop

not using that turbo any more!

 

leave fl and you don't need a/c anymore

 

is that powdercoated?

yes, spoolin(project dc2) can answer more on that, im not exactly sure of the exact kind or brand of coating

 

price?

and damn that is nice

 

spoolin does great work indeed!! i got a ramhorm mani he made me and a great guy. thats looks pretty cool though. any dyno's with ur new mani?

 

I think ive seen this manifold in person at the shop. It was very nice, and something different.

 

looks good man, i love spoolin products, im hoping to purchase one of his newer manifolds to replace my spoolin log mani

 

thanks guys


no dyno numbers yet, i just all the stuff in the mail yesterday

 

mrbsponge - in the last pic you posted, what is that small filter connected to? The blue one at the top of the picture.

its just connected to the valvecover, i have the catch can/PCV?vacumm draw hooked up the back of the block. i just vent the valvecover to the atmosphere but havent had anythign come out of it in 2 years yet, so i know the rings are still good!

all in all i should probably "T" it into the catch can system

 

ceramic coated - titanium-- done in house. limited time basis. however i do have connections to get manifolds ceramic coated - ceramickrome ( like HPC etcc) for 165$ shipped.


as for the price im lookin aroudn 550 -575 for it. but it will come uncoated. in either case its not the place to be talkin bout this. PM me if you're lookin for one.


as for cylinder 1 being in short. im not a rocket scientist in terms of physics n all that. im not gonna claim to be one. i just decided to make a new design that flows better than a log and looks unique as well. and yes there are other companies that have a design like this. unsure of who but i think it kinda represents the MBP or MPR or something like that manifold. but the collector design is diffrent.

half of the manifodl people are producing arent flowbenched or flow matched or truley equal length to begin with. the prostreet full-race isnt even equal length its off by about 2.5-3 inches .

interesting....

 

nice original design

to all the people who say there's only so many ways to make a manifold you guys are fockin' idiots!
