hit up a fabricator that will make one for you. Lee from hybrid connection is one of the best, but they have a long wait imo ---

Lee from hybrid connection is one of the best, but they have a long wait imo we got you in when right away when you hacked that Si swap into your civic so i dont know what you are talking about…quality takes a little time, what do you want would you rather have things thrown together and shipped out the door. I wouldnt Cooley, I invite you to open your own shop and show us up and do a better job. ---

Maybe you are new to the performance world but I will say 99.999% of the time quality = expensive. You say you don’t want to spend $250 but you don’t like the quality of the SSautochrome and likes. Save some money and get a quality piece and remember going fast cost money. ---

Save some money and get a quality piece and remember going fast cost money. :wstupid: . you should save up for a nice piece…Those ssac manifolds are garbage…I bought one from egay awhile back and it sucked…the thing wasnt even welded right… IMO, you should save up for a better one…they are pretty pricey but het…like **JnJSpdShop** said, “remember going fast cost money” and thats another reason why im out…lol good luck with your project…so far its coming along pretty good…:tspry: ---

Isn’t 250 really cheap for a quality turbo manifold? For reference, here’s the only good option I know of for a Nissan GA16 off the shelf: [http://www.hotshot.com/hotshotheaders/ns6020manifold.html](http://www.hotshot.com/hotshotheaders/ns6020manifold.html) $525 ---

how much does the avg manifold cost from hybrid? yeah i know ssac sucks bad, and id really never buy anything from them…especially after ive seen pics of the turbo housings epoxied together, and broken apart. 250 isnt ridiculously expensive, i just thought if i could custom weld a flange on an hf manifold it would be like $120 ---

You can weld a flange on an HF but it will never perform like a properly constructed manifold. Email coming tomorrow. Don
