Default SLS straight line specialties

I am in the market for a new turbo mannifold, my last one had cracking issues and the warping issues.

Does any one run an SLS mannifold? I am just wondering about your experience with the company and also the quality of there mannifolds. I want some thing thats not going to crack/warp and also some thing with nice fit/finish.....with out spending $800

Here is there market place add: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1731942

Feel free to comment on any thig you see about there stuff, I dont weld so I dont know what to look for

they're local to me and i will personally vouch for their quality and attention to detail. Nick is one of the best fabricators on the market and he's very knowledgeable too.....He stood behind Borg Warner before their recent popularity....

simply put, SLS knows their **** and will keep you in front of everyone else

i have seen many, if not all of his manifolds in person. SLS is literally a 5 min drive from my place and i go there regularly. I know 4 people personally who use his manifolds and other parts on their cars....one is a 550+whp GSR, one is a 420+whp killer D series, a 400+whp Evo 8, and finally a 450+whp STi

my personal favorite manifold of theirs in person is the shorty...its really cool up close, but the topmount is where its really at

My Integra ran 10.8 @ 136 w/ the first b series top mount ever mocked up by SLS.
Its two seasons old and still in great shape. If you have any other questions let me know.



And a dirty engine bay shot. We keep the car in the showroom at the shop.

i have their manifold on my car and i love it. It just cracked on me a few weeks ago but they told me to get it fixed and they will pay the bill or to send it back in and they will fix it. My turbo D with their mini log i think thats what its called ran a 12.5 @ 114. But now my car should go 11's.

it could have very well cracked because of the high temps you were running in limp home mode that one night. it changed colors a LOT.

my brother re-welded the short lil cracks on it..

the fabrication is great on kyles, and the welds are excellent. it didnt crack in a bad spot either, it cracked where the two middle runners meet the others. easy to fix.. might/might not have been SLS's doing, but whatever.

I also run the shorty manifold form SLS. Actually the setup you see advertised with the Shorty and the 2.5" to 3" flared downpipe on a D series is the setup on my car. Quality and fit is good

I've probably had one the longest as my car has one of the first ever built manifolds on it. It's been great.

We have now exceeded the 100 manifolds sold mark, and we've only had 3 that have hairline cracked. Never had any completly fail.

But anyways, thanks for all the sales guys, the support helps a ton!

Also stay tuned for many new products soon to be released.

The few we had problems w/ were all in the same batch where we accidently grabbed 309 wire not knowning it. Other than that we haven't seen any problems before or since then.

We build a lot of DSM 02 housings which are full SS, where the manifolds use steel flanges, it was a mixup on our part when we we're doing batchs of both @ the same time.

Anyways thanks for the good reviews guys your support has helped a ton and we will continue to stand behind our products 100%.
