And you get a new pas hose to eliminate the hose problems, looks good to, I have asked if they are going to be making one to suit the ST escos throttle body.

Be good if they did an exhaust manifold, there doesn't seem to be a decent manifold about , the ones I've found are either the cheapo xs power ones that I'm sure won't last too long before they warp and leak like my evo 6 xs power one did , or there's the flofox

the flofox ones that cost about £650 , be good if there was a manifold for around the £400ish mark that was suitable for fast road/ track use

Whats wrong with a standerd 2wd exhaust manifold? Will handle more than enough for most folk!

Who doesn't want a tubular manifold? I agree the 2wd manifold is a good design but I'd still want a nice tubular manifold! The standard plenum might flow enough for most folk too but won't stop me buying the plenum above

Not a lot, its suited to cars that exceed the need for a 4x4 or ST inlet - it would have to be tested on a car to really know

Just for the record they are not ready to release drawings or CAD model of their manifold (as I expected but I hoped they would hehe).
