Need a turbo manifold for ecotec. Hahn won't sell just their manifold, and Cavalier Connections hasn't called back yet, so who's next. I've got a Super 20G turbo with a T3 flange, just need a manifold. I can get a downpipe made but they won't build me a manifold. Doesn't have to be a header style just a log manifold with a T3 flange, someone please point me in the right direction.

Search ebay for "ecotec manifold" . Several people have ordered this guys' manifolds and been happy with them. I plan on doing so. Another option is to get ahold of CNFX. I believe QBE had his manifold custom made through them. They are in the process of mass producing manifolds but it will be a while. I talked to them for a while but I need my manifold soon. The bonus of CNFX's manifold is that they can do a external w/g rather than the internal that I will have to use. It all depends on your boost needs though. Going to a local weld shop for a custom manifold is also an option. Good luck!
No offense to anyone who sells on ebay but I personally don't trust it. I need a web site or a phone number, don't like dealing with email.

Thats perfectly understandable. The first time I used ebay I was really worried, but so far I have been lucky. There are posts and pictures of the ebay manifolds if you search "ebay manifold". Actually people have had worse luck on this website with established businesses than ebay. Happy hunting!
Contacted CNFX they say they will have Turbo Ecotec Maniflods available in 2-3 weeks.

Interesting that Hahn won't sell just the manifolds?

where you from man? i also thought they had a home builders combo jobby. thats what i was gonna get since they dont make kits for the 2.3 or 2.4
Sven you totally quarterloafed your computer..
I bought one of the ebay manifolds and im pretty pleased with it. The guy is in canada and I still got it in like 5 days. I havent installed it yet, and could take a couple pictures of the welds if you want. Id say its pretty good quality for the price. Just because someone has a website/phone number dosent make them reptuable^.
No offence tmnt but i havent heard the best of things about those manifolds from the guy in canada. A lot of customers have come to me asking for a replacement because there manifold from him cracked, badly. I dont have anything agianst the guy making them or anything, just letting you know what i do. In my opinion its not worth it to spend $170 on a manifold, then a few weeks later spend more money getting it repaired or replaced, like i always say, if your gonna do something, do it right the first time.

No offense exploited but I havent heard the best things about your manifolds quaity/reliability, and a quick search though this forum shows that. I do not believe anything you say. If someone wants to make a post saying there ebay manifold broke and they came to you, let them say that not you. I do not trust you or your "company".
I have heard nothing but good things about exploited manifolds. BUT i have heard nothing but bad things about the way they do business. It seems like for every 1 person who gets a manifold loves it.... but then there are 9 people that wait forever for to get one.
just my observations over the years
i used a saab manifold and converted it to a T3 flange, manifold was 150, adapter plate free, and its semi equal length. if you hook me up with one i will make a flange for free and weld it on for you, hit me up at thbrown@mccallie.org
I have a ebay manifold on mine home-made junk yard turbo setup and very pleased with it. Its deffently worth the $180.00, and after about 5k mils its still holding strong with no cracks or leaks...granted i dont get on my car alot or beat on it since its my only driveing car and grocerie getter, but it has withstand a 26 hour trip to Florida from michigan and back. =)
yea.. my service wasnt the best for awhile but it got cleaned up. I gotta finish getting caught up and stay ontop of things... otherwise i get nailed with some huge fines.
