Turbo manifolds

[VTECnique]

I have a D16 that i want to turbo, and Im wanting to know if n e 1 on this forum can make a custom exhaust manifold. I'm trying to do it on a budget, so the manifold design is very simple to do. I just wanna see if it'll be cheaper to get one made up from someone on this forum instead of going to an exhaust shop. Thanks

just buy one from honda-tech or ebay. a simple log runs ~100 +ship. i bought my manifold and wastegate from oversea's, much cheaper then local.

i believed weq got his items from d-series.org, honda-tech.com and ebay

parts are much cheaper in usa cos honda is the back bone of the import scene over there

[LowEk]

cheers,

yeah i reckon you're better of buying one or at least take it to an exhaust shop, maybe they can do it and at least it make it look professionally done instead of cheap looking welds. lol

unfortunately, 99% of them will be obx/ssautochrome/stone mountain/xs power(different names, same pile of ****). Don't be tempted by their pretty looks and low price, they are absolute crap.
