FC exhuast manifolds

What options are there fc exhaust manifolds? So far I've only found the two offered on rx7store.net, the cast hks and xs engineering.

I'd like to find a divided manifold with long runners, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there. I'd prefer to find something with a t04 flange, but I'm looking for anything well designed and reasonably priced.

Also, I've heard most fd manifolds wont fit an fc, but are there any exceptions?

Not possible, unless you consider reasonably priced = $1,000?

I was thinking closer to $500. I mostly just hate the hks design, it seems like a step back from stock.

No, no one is going to offer something like that for that cheap.

RPM(HP in a Box) in AU offers a long runner manifold for the FC for around that price. It is quite doable. Alternately you can buy the flange from RB, and the pipes from Mcmaster. The total for all the materials you need is less than 175.00, that is for 2" sch 40 304 stainless steam pipe . Carl

probs could help you out with a Tubular manifold.

definately a much better step than the HKS cast item..

The HKS cast isn't fancy looking, but it has a LOT going for it -

- Dirt cheap.
- Bulletproof.
- Can make quite a bit of power.
- Bolts right up.

A lot of the tubular stainless manifolds have problems cracking at the joints, etc. The HKS cast manifold is damn near indestructible - no problems.

People have made well into the 400hp range on that manifold. It works.

Why the recent steep increase on price on the HKS log though? It went from $250 to $350.. damn!
