Yes, absolutely I would, in either mild steel or stainless. I honestly don't know any shops haven't picked up on this yet.

id buy it, i dont know why someone hasnt bothered to do this.

seems to be a market for it, however there may not be a very large profit in it since people wouldnt want to pay too much for it.

crossover is important but the downpipe would be golden.

Holy ****! My buddy and I were just talking about this! Why a company hasn't jumped up and made a basic kit for guys using truck manifolds. I'd buy it if it were made available. Not that I'm doing a turbo setup or anything..... But if I were then I'd buy it I hope no one in FL is watching, dammit.

Hmm. This may be a good idea. Market a HOT PARTS kit using the 6.0L mainifolds. I'm sure there would be some buyers. (too bad you loose AC when you do this type of kit.)

Hell I'd buy one, and I'm a juice-junky! But, the thoughts of spooling over to the hairdryer side are always lurking. Make that **** already please.

I am in for sure...... need a couple of variants though. T3/T4/T6 flanges as an option and also provisions for the wastegate.

this was already discussed in the other thread, reason why for those who have made one it takes alot of time. Materials might be relativly cheap (thought the vbands, bungs and flanges will drive that up) but time isnt that cheap. I think it would be about 20 hours for one up-pipe and downpipe for fabing it and fitting it to make sure it fits.
it wouldnt be cost effective enough for what people would want to pay for it. Look at the phamspeed conspiricy, you get what you pay for.

So, I'm guessing that means that nobody is interested in making these parts?

if someone made the 6.0 manifold kit with cross over and downpipe i think there would be a market for it.

i dont see how it can be so time consuming, once the initial kit is designed, and a jig is made, i dont see how it can take 20hours to make. however ive never done it so I could be all off.

to make quality jigs to make sure the kit fits everytime is going to be costly.
sure someone can come along and just throw them together, but i bet people will have problems. well at least you can install your spark plugs for sure with the 6.0 manafolds, but alot of other things can go wrong.
