Im in the market for a new manifold and someone recommended me to Anthony fro Fab Works, and damn i was impressed with his work and nice price. Just today i received a PM from B18C1CYA from RLD-FAB.com and showed me his work and pricing. He made 605whp with his manifold and SC61. Work looks descent. I just wanted to get a little insight from you guys that have used both products. thanks.

I will vouch for RLD-Fab - I have had my manifold for about 6 months and it has been GREAT! I had an exhaust leak from the head flange at first, and then I installed a Mr. Gasket gasket like he told me to do from the start, and I have had 0 problems since then. Top notch product, I would definately tell anyone to buy from him. Car hits full boost 800 RPMs sooner over my old Inline-Pro. (10 PSI SC61/ stock B16 by 4800 RPMs) for RLD.

 

RLD Fab here!

Ron is a stand up guy and does beautiful work.

For the price it can't be beat

 

RLD-fab here also. im really pleased with this manifold. hes a great guy to deal with and stands behind his product

 

Both manifold make power and are quality... I doubt you will find anyone who will tell you otherwise.

But I will vouch for Ron with RLD FAB since I got my manifold from him... He was a great guy to deal with as he kept in touch with me the whole time during fabrication and shipment

 

I know Anthony from Fab-Works. He is a good guy, with a an equally good product. You will be happy with the quality and performance of the products.

I think you should buy my **** anthony.. And there is a 76trim sc61 , but if you are going to buy one of those manifold i would go with the RLD fab. I have seen and worked on hybridhatch88 car and he has that manifold.

I know wantboost on here is selling a fab-works setup for cheap.

 

Anthony and Fab-Works

Nice guy good quality work

 

Are both products identical? (runner lengths, and weld points) How are the welds on the RLD Fab manifold?

Reason i ask is because ive seen these style manifolds crack near the middle cause of the weight of the turbo. Do i need to welds any kind of braces to these?

The welds look great, like a roll of dimes I guess you would say. Very clean. It is made very thick, mine has had 0 problems at all, with no braces at all.

 

I will vouche for ron at RLD. he is making a mani for me and I have seen dontblinks. he does great work and goes far out of his way to help people out

 

thanks for all the vouches. i think i can make up my mind now.

 

fab-works all the way, no experience with RLD so I can't compare.

 

Bump for RLD, he does good work

 

why not full-race? you cant beat the quality

Why not Ferrari over Honda?
Why not Tag Heuer over Timex?
Why not Mountain Dew over Wal-Mart's Mountain Lightning?

If he's asking this question between the two fabricators listed don't you think it is safe to assume that he's on a little tighter budget than Full-Race would fit in?

 

I Have the rams horn style manifold From RLD and the welds are just as good as full-race at a lot better price you really can go wrong with rld easy to work with nice guy to work with . quality welds.

ron aka rld-fab is a great guy, and from what ive seen his manifolds are excellent for the price...

fab works puts out excellent products also though so its a toss up

i have a full-race kit and if i hadnt gotten it so cheap i was gonna go with an rld mani.....

i have bought a catch can from ron and the welds were excellent and he is always there for any questions or support

brian

 

I think i've made up my mind. Ill go with RLD's manifold. What else does the guy make? catch cans?? i need one

 

Ron is a good guy and great products. You wont be dissapointed.
I hear Fabworks is also, but I dont have experience with them.

 

bump for more vouches, i'm also stuck deciding between the two. ron at RLD or anthony at fab-works, i've heard a lot of good things from both. i'm concerned more on the lifetime warranty they both offer, i dont want problems with my manifold later down the road and they won't follow up on it like CRFab and KRBfab that went out of business. i like the prices that i see with RLD

i go with Ron of RLD_Fab. I spoke with him times and times again on here, over the phone. He always responds quick. I know quite a bit about fab myself, just dont have the time anymore and Ron from all the questions i asked him passed my test!

in a few weeks or less i am placing an order with him of 2 manifolds and 1 downpipe!

Merry Late Xmas when that order comes

thanks!

 

ron at RLD FAB is an aweosme guy he actually helped me out a lot when i was deciding which welder i wanted to buy. not sure what he makes other than manifold/dowpipe/charge piping.....but i he has shown me a ton of things he has powder coated and they all look great as well.

 

Thanks for all the positive comments guys just trying to offer good products at affordable prices and I stand behind them 100% to the original owner, and now that we have had are logo put into the flanges we will now for sure that it is are product so we will consider prorateing to the non original owner
