Thats a killer deal IMO for a custom piece that complex and well done. How many hours do you think you have in it start to finish and how much were materials? ---

well, i have probably 20+ hours into it and i know matt said he had 20+hrs into it. 400+ into materials. unfortunately a product is only worth what someones willing to pay for it. Believe it or not this particular piece i promised someone for 1g.☹ im losing my ass but i quoted it before i knew what was involved. Hopefully he doesnt come up with the funds so i can sell it for what its worth. ---

but you are getting your name out there associated with a quality product. thats more valuable than $400. ---

> [@LowlyOilBurner](#): > > Agreed. Once it’s stearmlined, things will go alot easier. lol, there will be no stream lining. Im sick of building manifold and ive only made 2 in the last 2-3years. And on top of it i got 2 to go. One for myself and one to sell.lol Ill probably be purchasing the merge collector for now on to save time and that should help save alot of time/frusteration. ---

I can laser header flanges for you. Maybe we can work out a deal for that top mount you want to sell. As I definitely want to turbo my M3 I just bought. Also, Turbociv… My M started missing after i degreased the engine bay. Beer pizza and cash involved if you can help me fix it. Im unfamiliar with BMWs and could use a lending hand… ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > Whats a custom manifold like this cost? i believe hes selling this one for a grand…its should sell for 14-15hundo considering its a/c compatible and is so much more work. regardless its well worth the money, ive seen the manifold and know matts welds very well…this will be bomb proof and make great power ---
