I don't see any issues supporting a standard T4 turbo like that. They come with a 1 year warranty as well against any cracking or any issues!

I don't think you will see any performance gains, just a cleaner set-up and easier install allowing you to use v-bands instead of the 3-bolt flange, and also a much nicer looking piece as well! They are a great starting point as opposed to finding used manifolds, and having to cut and weld to them. A nicer option available instead of the truck manifolds for those wanting to use V-bands as well as something more aesthetically pleasing.

We have QC Coatings literally across the street from us. They do all of our coating and offer a Shiny Silver Ceramic and a Flat Black Ceramic. We can have them coated no problem for you guys! Typically it is about 7-10 days to get coated as they have a set schedule over there. Pricing would run $165 for the set to get done in either flat black or the shiny silver ceramic! Here are some examples of both!

Just checked with the coaters, that pricing to coat them was high! We can have these coated for you in either ceramic finish for $165 for the set!

That's pretty reasonable for coating. They would look good for someone wanting a detailed show quality engine bay.

If there is quite a bit of interest in coated sets, I may get some over there and keep some coated sets on the shelf

We will have some good installed pictures and info this week for everyone.

These are 304 Stainless, TIG welded, .065 wall

Will these fit with the stock heat shield? I am interested but a couple of drawbacks are that I would need to wrap these (which I am not interested in doing), and that they are thinner than the stock manifold.

Please let me know.

As mentioned above, we have have these Ceramic coated for you as well!

On the f-bodies we have a good 2 fingers of clearance to the steering shaft!

I wish these fit for my 402 S475 G35 Coupe. It would look smooth in the bay with everything else I'm running. If only the v flange was angled to work. Coating looks nice.

No coating, polished stainless steel!

If an angle on the flange is all that is needed, you can easily modify that being these are all stainless steel. Very simple to slightly modify these for different applications, one of the beauties of them!
