New product to help those DIY kit builders, or for those looking to enhance their current set-up with a nice set of v-banded manifolds without the hassle of having to modify cast factory manifolds!

2.5" V-bands with step for perfect alignment

Stepped runners for best performance and flow

45mm-51mm-63mm Stepped Runners

Looks like a nice budget offering.

But please sell them with proper manifold gaskets in case someone tries to use those cheap POS in the photo.

These have been built by many in the past with not much success. I've thrown away a lot of them. How thick are the tubes?

I so hope these pan out and arnt like the past thin wall cracking junk. I like the stepped and the v band. If flange and wall thickness along as type of stainless pans out ill definatly take a set.

would there be anyway to get these in mirror images of the drivers side? I'll be running a twin setup with the manifold flipped forward. I like the exit angle of the driver's side flipped better than the passenger side flipped.

Will these clear in normal direction instead of going forward?

Some pictures of them on the motor would be great. I know I have to grind on my alternator to clear my manifolds when running backwards.

With the success of truck manifolds, how do these differ?

How about making a heat shield for them like the factory manifolds? Would sure help with heat and not having to wrap them.

IMO if you guys want to hit a home run take the factory truck manifold and create a CNC program to machine the V-band out of the stock flange (there was a guy on here that did that) that would sell like hotcakes.
The comment "V-banded manifold without the hassles of modifying a cast truck manifold and deal with welding the tricky cast" does not hold water, the stock manifolds are CAST STEEL and very easy to work with.
Not bashing your product just give you my .02 from a customers prospective.

I would agree there's probably a market for v-banded truck manifolds.

There have already been a few vendors advertising that they sell them.
