that is badass!! The one and only reason i wouldnt buy a set is because i would still have to move the alt. to use um vs. mine when i welded on my v-bands i cut a lot off the manifold and changed the exit angle to clear my alt. Now if u can mill it back far enough and machine the lip to clear the alt. then you sir are god!! Im not bashing cause this is really really nice!
Even if I can't be the one to make any money off this idea, it would be cool to see someone offer these as a product!

Looks good.
Here is the thread on welding them, too: https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...manifolds.html

That picture looked chopped, honestly. I was laughing... now I'm not.
I have a pair of APS manifolds that currently only work with APS turbos... lol...
I'll gladly pay the $100/hr so I can use these ***** on my car instead: http://www.tialsport.com/prod%20ss%20turbo.html#sgt3035!!!

In the "FWIW" dept: I checked w/ a machine shop that has the capabilities. The resulting quote made me QUICKLY come to the conclusion, that weld ons are "just fine!
10 sets priced with amortization of the start up costs: $295.00/set. Oh well.....

Very impressive. I assume you could get your companies interest if you lined up a group of members sort of "group buy" style and set aside a set time to run say 10 sets, the shop time would be lower and profit could potentially be higher for the company. Rather than a set here and there and constant tooling changes... Just my .02.

I am certain that you cant mill the manifolds further back in order for them to clear the alternator (not enough material and such) but I'm going to look into it. I do have access to the tools to do so. I have had zero problems with welding them.
