Just got my manifold and Blitz intercooler pipes back from Wayne at www.phase2motortrend.com

I was thinking of having this done while I already have the manifold and throttle body off. I know RX7fashion changes 280 for both. Looks great. How much did it cost you?

on their site is says they charge 400 for the intake manifold and 100 for the throttle body! that seems expensive as hell.

Why pay someone to do it? You can do it yourself. All you need is a drill, and vice, a bench grinder and drimmle tool helps too, all with proper attachments of course.

Doing yourself, you will not come out as good as this.....

Plus turnaround time is less than 7 days. Doing yourself takes weeks. I've tried!!!!

the manifold was $100, I only wanted the top side polished since you don't see the bottom anyways. Plus if the manifold does any cooling at all, it's better with it unpolished because of the increased surface area....and it saves $$

I would've done it myself but it saves the hassle and your lungs from metal dusts...

I've been wondering.......... How much power exactly does polishing the OUTSIDE of a manifold make?

It gives you the power to brag about your polished parts

Don't forget the 40 hours of labor. I polished mine and I won't ever do another one again.
