Ktec mani !!!!

Very nice looking bit of kit.
Curious whether the ports in the Ktec manifold have been opened up to match the cylinder head port size as is done on the Toyosports version.
Price difference is probably due more to the huge quantity of varied manifolds that Toyosports builds compared to the limited production numbers of the Ktec version. Although I must say the Ktec version does look better quality too.
Would I replace my Toyosports manifold with this Ktec version...No.
Would I have purchased this Ktec manifold instead of the Toyosports version...At current price No...if it was more competitively priced then Yes.

Would a £1000 + shipping be acceptable for a R3 exhaust manifold that looks and is 2x better than the Renault Sport's?
A friend of mine has a company that works with the pharmaceutical companies (they do their manufacturing facilities) and is a master welder and has all of the best welding/cutting equipment. In his spare time does custom made exhausts. Was trying to get him to make me an exhaust manifold but it was too expensive for me (I think it was £1500) at the moment. However, if there's an interest he might lower is price.

How exactly would it be 2x better than RenaultSports R3 manifold, power, build? What are you defining against?
I paid £800 for my R3 mani built by Aros. But it's cost a fair bit to have installed because R3 manifolds have no flexi's, therefore we had to covert the front joint a sprung system like a 182 which allows movement. Also runs like a dog tbh and needs mapping (tomorrow), whole cost just shy of £1800 (not including system/backbox either!) so never worth it!!!
The only manifold that stands a chance of being a real sucsess is if someone does a halfway house between the R3 and Toyo/KTR.

People assume that this manifold knocks on the subframe like the Toyo does, how have they come to that conclusion since noone has even fitted it yet? If the fitment is spot on and the craftsmanship/materials better than the Toyo one then I can easily see why it is nearly three times the price. Noone is expecting to buy a 3 times better product when paying triple the price and that doesn't only apply to this example. Doesn't work that way I'm afraid...
