I thought you were in the process of having one built?

Does the Mazda community want a Tubular Turbo Manifold for the MSP? If so we need to know who is interested.

I am ready to buy. $$$$$ in hand.......well card at least. Difinently need to do this. The MSP community NEEDS this. As of right now I believe there are 0 options for us cracked manifold guys. The problem with the mam product was the price. I personally am willing to spend that amount but alot of others probably arent. If you could produce a decent manifold for say around $600-$800ish. You should be golden.

[Cullen]

I need to see what the demand is for the unit.

[MSP608]

if it isnt as expensive as the mam piece id consider it definitely

Bump for an awesome price. Hey Cullen about how many people would you need to do this? Cuz I really want one. I will try and spread the word for ya. About how many people is it gonna take to get this going?

[Cullen]

This is an oppurtunity for MSP owners to get in on an intro price. I want to see atleast 10 people on the list to get it started however I am making it no matter what.

[alexB]

However this is an oppurtunity for MSP owners to get in on an intro price. I want to see atleast 10 people on the list to get it started however I am making it no matter what.
So this will be made no matter what?????? I really want and need one. How soon do you see this happening. Just trying to get some facts straight. Want to know some specifics so that I can better spread the word. Mainly the fact that this will go through. I am a difinent buyer. Others just have a hard time commiting to something like this without specifics due to all the recent threads that dont seem legit. I am in Cullen.

[Cullen]

It is being made right now and it will be of the highest quality. There are 2 styles to choose from too.

[GhostOne]

I am very interested. Please add me to the list.

I want one of the tubular manifolds

[onebad03msp]

Hey can you put me on the list for two manifolds....

[MSP608]

generous christmas present?! haha

i might be coming off the list, possibly getting the mpi soon.

[alexB]

Any updates on this? Just wondering if anything new has happened. Getting close? Cant wait to get my hands on one of theese.

[Cullen]

They are coming along...

[alexB]

Bump

[MSpeed2397]

I'd definitely love to see this go into production! I'm all for it for sure.

[MSpeed2397]

Cullen, do you have a diagram per chance? I'd like to see what this is going to look like.

[Cullen]

sure who is this?

[alexB]

Cullen, do you have a diagram per chance? I'd like to see what this is going to look like.

I would also be interested in this.

[MSpeed2397]

My name is Mark, I've been on the msprotege forums mainly, but am now leaning towards building this community rather than theirs...too much drama for me over there sometimes.

[StreetUnitMike]

Well welcome to the forums here!

[Rogue]

i'd be interested in this also. Probably can get one after the new year.

[Shakenbaby72]

im intrested in it but i wouldnt be able to get it til spring or begining of summer

[alexB]

Any kind of updates? This just kinda slowly dissappeared alot like all the other threads in the past. Sorry for the ranting. My stock exhaust manifold has just been getting worse. In a bad mood cuz of it. Any progress Cullen?

[alexB]

So is this still happening? Kinda need to know if I am waiting around for something that wont be finished. I would like to get a replacement mani for my msp kinda soon. The stocker is getting alot worse with the crack that it has.

[StreetUnitMike]

I just spoke with Cullen, he says the turbo manifolds are far from dissappearing. Designs for the turbo mani are being finalized and prototypes are in the works. Pictures to come shortly after prototypes are finished. Target price should be under $475 and once the prototype is tested production will begin immediately.

What is going to help move this project along is a GI thread, letting us know how many we should plan on making, the more interest the lower the price!

[Raider]

Mike, this is the GI thread, and there is a list of people interested in post #1.

[StreetUnitMike]

Added!

[2NR]

any updates?

[Junya1985]

add me to the list

[laracroft]

You know, I was thinking. When mine cracked, I only had two options. Either buy one from MAM or get one from Mazda. Either way they were both over $800. I went with MAM, and have been pretty happy with it. I did have to wait several months to get it though, which kinda sucked.

But all in all, I'd have to say that since MAM is out the picture now, it would be a good idea if SOMEBODY made this for our cars. The Calloway p.o.s. cast iron one cracks. Mine cracked all the way down to the O2 sensor. So, eventually, alot of MSP owners will need one. So I would think that this would be a great idea for the community. The only thing is... if you model it ANYWHERE near what THEY did, PLEASE make sure that you make the nuts and bolts readily accessible to tools!!!! Mine are a b*tch due to the locations and how close the tubes are to them. So please take this into consideration.

[2NR]

I wonder how much of a gain is going to come from this...

[MSpeed2397]

Yes, for sure, this is one of my main concerns...otherwise I'd keep mine til it cracked...

[laracroft]

It's never good to keep it cracked. My crack started small and ended up being about 6 inches. Then there's the fumes into the cab of the car and the boost loss. Trust me, you'd want to get it replaced if it breaks. And the Calloway CANNOT be fixed. It's not stainless steel and cannot be welded. You will need a whole new manifold. I forgot what my gains were, but I think it was somewhere around 15-20 hp. I'm sorry that I don't remember specifically. But if it makes you feel better, it makes the car sound a little more beefy. Not like MUSTANG beefy, but you get my drift.

[Shakenbaby72]

do you already have the upgrade intake and smic? cuz mine defintaly sounds stronger with it.. wonderin how much louder it would be with the exhaust mani

[laracroft]

I have a FMIC and SRI from MAM.

[msp35]

I was under the impression as per the other forum, that you can infact fill these cracks with weld.

[Shakenbaby72]

im no expert but i would imagine haveing any engine component cracked is never a good idea.. even if it could be welded. i would think the integrity of the rest of the metal would be compromised. welding a motor mount would be one thing but something that keeps the engine running properly is another... thats just my opinion..

[2NR]

I don't think you can weld cast iron though

[kys10x]

you can weld casting but you have to preheat with at torch then stick weld it with a nickel rod (ibelieve thats right) in my opinion its not worth it. i want to buy a new one!

[2NR]

ya a ss tubular manifold ftw

[laracroft]

you can weld casting but you have to preheat with at torch then stick weld it with a nickel rod (ibelieve thats right) in my opinion its not worth it. i want to buy a new one!

You're exactly right. It's not say that it can't be done, it CAN. HOWEVER, no shop can guarantee that it'll work and it will cost you about $250 to do it. It's not stainless steel.

Cast iron comes in a mold and made at a certain integrity. Once it's cracked, that's it, you can't get it back to that certain temperature and hope that the weld holds. Most shops will not even entertain doing it either. But a stainless manifold one can be welded if it cracks with very little effort, most shops will do the work-they will stand by their weld and it's not alot of cash.

Trust me, I researched this before I bought my MAM one.

[forcedboost]

Count me in, Been waiting for this one.

[Raider]

You have been added!

[MSpeed2397]

I never said my mani was cracked, I said I'd keep it until it cracked before buying the SU mani if there were not sufficient gains from it. I however have confidence that the SU mani will improve performance significantly.

[MSpeed2397]

So any word yet?

[2NR]

getting anxious here too

[computerGeek]

I figured i would add my 2 cents. Usually i don't need to say it!

Count me in! That is about 500 less then i thought it would be!

[alexB]

getting anxious here too
Been anxious for a while now also. Any progress updates. This project seemed to kinda dissappear. Is it still going on? Getting closer?

[GhostOne]

Yes, please give us a update. I am still planning on waiting for the Street Unit one but there are 2 other options that I know of as of the moment. One is taking orders and the other will be shortly.

[Cullen]

:)

[Cullen]

^ that means the SU manifold will be well worth the wait.

[GhostOne]

Well then I will continue to wait. Keep us updated.

[alexB]

^ that means the SU manifold will be well worth the wait.
Oh I well be waiting. I have bought almost everything on my car from you guys GHL exhaust,exedy clutch, and lots of other stuff. What kind of finish did you say it was gonna be Cullen? I am kinda wanting a really nice stainless finish. I have a couple friends with apexi headers on there hondas. I love how the stainless finish on there products almost turns into kinda bronze-like color. Touching is a no-no:no:. Fingerprints like burn in and look kinda bad though.

[forcedboost]

Cant wait to get this and snap my axles from the uber torque. lol

[alexB]

^ that means the SU manifold will be well worth the wait.

Any updates? Got any idea on how soon this may be finished? Just trying to get an idea. Want to have the correct funds for this when it comes out. Cause I NEED it. My stock mani trashed.

[Raider]

they are still being worked on, according to Mike. It is not forgotten, still being engineered right now.

[Raider]

from Mike just now via IM: "its in R&D and is expected to go into testing very soon."

[MS3-oholic]

Cullen, put me on the list!!! I have an MS3 so I don't need one, but my brother and mom both have 2003.5 MSP's and are looking for a nice tubular manifold.

[GhostOne]

Very nice, thanks for the update.

[GhostOne]

Whoa...your mom has a MSP? Thats pretty f'ing cool.

[Chris Stutz]

Woop! Dont forget me Cullen! Gotta have it.

looking good... so far..

[Cullen]

its a frankenstein right now. The final design will be posted no later than Monday. We are trying to keep the retail cost under $650 w/o dropping the quality.

[GhostOne]

...excellent.. (in my best Mr. Burns accent while slowly taping my fingers together)

[alexB]

Getting any closer? Pics look good. I like the material you guys choose to make this out of. This would be awesome to have this finished and have one on my car within the next 1-2 months. Keep the updates coming. They make the wait easier.

[kys10x]

you can remove me from the list. a blown motor has no need for a manifold :(

[Raider]

Yes it does! jk, I will take care of it.

what makes that log manifold better than the stock one? or is this just designed to be a replacement for those who have cracked stock manifolds?

[islander81]

A Cullen sign me up and let me know when these are ready, and the price...

[Cullen]

It would be a stock replacement, affordable option than the stock one for $800. The log is available if you guys want one. We are doing a different design now, prettier. : )

[alexB]

Is it possible to get a picture of the log. What is the finall price cullen? Will it look exactly like the 3rd picture. Or a little different? Sorry for all the questions. I am in need of a replacement really bad. I would just like to know exactly what I am purchasing. Any pics or info would be greatly appreciated.

[Raider]

alex, I pm'd cullen that you really need a new mani-keeping up with how your manifold is cracked-.

I would give Cullen a call ASAP 321-251-6124 right away.

Just found this post. Don't know if I'm late to get on the list. Already had to replace my manifold once. This looks and sounds like a sweet deal. Somebody update me.

[Cullen]

Pictures updated on post #1

[Raider]

So there is going to be 2 versions? The 1st one installed looks like it is pretty hard core.

[Nazgul350r]

[GhostOne]

Glad to see the progress, any info to go along with the updated pics?

[GhostOne]

Alrighty then, I will continue to wait patiently. Also I sent you a email.

[kypatrick]
