I need to know where is a good place to order one or have one built for me I know there use to be some on ebay but I haven't seen em on there in a year epic fail. thx
Atomic's manifolds seem to have vavle cover clearance issues.
Personally i would go with
RD Fabs. Amazing work. No fitment issues. No hassles.
its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa
I do like mikes work but I been having trouble getting ahold of him. but that atomic shorty looks perfect any you two running it worried on clearance :/
Atomic isn't doing manifolds any longer...
He will do a manifold if you bring your car there but will not build one without your car.
good to know guess I need to track mike down he's local any ways and tubular just seams over kill for my set up as of now
anyone have any feed back on the rksport log? I need a external wastegate but that's a easy weld job
Go with mike man....he makes great stuff and does it for a great price. I did get ahold of him a bit back and he is very busy. So sometimes a bit hard to get ahold of.
ya I have his cell called and texted it today nothing :/
ZZP makes a stainless cast log manifold. I have had good luck with mine.
Atomic is a bunch of @!#$ - they keep a site running with parts they no longer make or sell. Nothing bothers me more than that kind of negligence from a business /rant
^^ I agree.
I heard the rumor that he wasnt doing Jbody stuff anymore but didnt believe it. Asked him about my mani and it was true...everything is now in house built with the vehicle there. He said he was having to many fitment issues, and now doesn't have a jbody in shop to test fit on.
But still no excuse not to update the site.
is atomic really that bad im looking at buying the one in classified but I hear a lot of negative on the company......
LOl.....that was my old one
the guy isn't bad, it's just that he has products listed for our vehicles and a shopping cart feature and he doesn't make parts off jigs anymore, you need to have your car there.

has anyone successfully installed an RD Fabs manifold on a jbody car? the bottom mount is great for firewall fitment, but unfortunately we don't have the fixed intermediate shaft that the deltas do, so running a larger turbo, i'd imagine theres a possibility that the driveshaft on the passenger side (especially if the car is lowered) has a possibility of hitting the compressor housing.
I bugged RD Fabs for MONTHS on EF.com to give me pictures or measurements and while I did get some pictures, they didn't seem too interested in making me feel comfortable to shell out $650 for a product that potentially wouldn't fit my car, yet was totally willing to pay for provided I received some actual help.

That's what i'm saying, whoever is in charge of their business and storefront is a fkn asshole. I could go on the website and buy one of everything as the shopping cars are totally active, and who knows what would happen to my money if i didn't know better.
I know Tinkles had and amazing experience with RDFabs and nothing but praise. I would hope they did their research on design, and consider that if someone is going to run a 650 dollar ramhorn, that they are most likely lowered substantially.
What our "market" really needs is a decent hotside kit. Manifold, turbo, and downpipe. To me that combo of parts represents the most "custom" part of the install, followed by IC mounting/piping. But i'd pay for a decent hotside kit; for example, a TTR T25 manifold, EFR turbo, and Vband downpipe...

I agree....
Amm fab was thinking of doing a sweet hotside kit and he quoted me $650 for it. Unfortunately with the quality of his work and amazing prices he seems to have way to much work.
The hotside kit would be a copy of Jims setup he posted on here a while back.
I guess I'm too picky lol. I won't give up air conditioning.
I wont be giving mine up either....
Got a trick up my sleeve that will retain a/c and run that setup
Although it may be able to retain a/c without modding the system.
Either way you are correct. We NEED NEED a good hotside kit...I know hahn was talking about one but I dont know if id ever deal with hahn.
i could prolly part with my STR cast log manifold but no clue what it is worth

. I've seen this mani in person and its first class product. The point here is a decent downpipe or hot side kit is tough to come by.
