Default Front Mount Turbo Manifolds

For the passed year i have been planning on doing a Front Mount Turbo with OFI manifolds, but they are gone now and i can not seem to find any manifolds identical or like them.
Does anybody know where i can get some even if they are not OFI? & no ebay please.
The build was going to consist of a front mount S91 with a 441ci LSX.

Thank You for the help FI guys!

they can and have made kits with "headers" but mostly all of their kits use stock manifolds. and i personally would run nothing but a stock manifold if and when i go f.i. because you know damn well it fits and there are no issues with plug wires/ plug acces etc. have you ever actually looked at a set of plug wires on an ofi car? its beyond close and requires zip tires to keep them off the manifolds. then changing plugs i dont even want to think about. im sure if you pay someone enough money a custom set of headers could be made with good access still but i personally would stay away from them. and of course the ever important issue of them possibly cracking. a stock manifold will never crack. ok ive rained on your parade enough lol back to the hunt

The OFI setup is one of the sexiest turbo setups out there. It's a shame they went under.

OFI did in fact have an awesome kit, but too much negative feedback from their customers/board members left me with a dry mouth. I went with a hot and cold side from kentucky, I cant wait to get it in so I could have the kit coated and wrapped...

Goodluck
