I would recommend any of his products to anyone. His work speaks for itself and the customer service is just a bonus X2! Glad you finally got it, TJ. Ya know, Jake it also working on some SMIM's right now. I'll probably be running one of those as well. Just waiting for the first batch.

I will have to talk him into a 2g head style with a decent size plenum. It is that or a VSR from AMS. If I go the AMS route I will probably have them pick out my cams and what not to compliment the specs of the manifold.

I find it weird both of you are praising and recommending his products so soon. Neither of you have adequate seat time with his products to go out and make such bold statements. Not to mention the lack of any warranty would really leave you SOL if something drastic were to happen. Sure it may last forever, but it may fall apart in 3 weeks, and without any warranty thats not a chance I'd be willing to take.

He also wen 9.5 at over 150mph on this manifold with the same exact turbo as me. I think the supporting evidence is there along with the peace of mind knowing that if it cracks, I am good to go.

I find it weird both of you are praising and recommending his products so soon. Well, we don't have a reason not to. Jake's been a great help thus far, and I trust the product enough to have no worries at all. Neither of you have adequate seat time with his products to go out and make such bold statements. Well, I may not have alot of use on mine yet, but it is installed and I am driving the car now. Not to mention the lack of any warranty would really leave you SOL if something drastic were to happen. Sure it may last forever, but it may fall apart in 3 weeks, and without any warranty thats not a chance I'd be willing to take. Check out Jake's site or any of the threads on Tuners or Talk regarding the manifold; these do have a lifetime warranty against cracks and/or any other craftsmanship defect. And TJ has made a good point. Jake didn't just start welding with these. He's been fabricating and racing for years. In my eyes, he's already proven himself with all of the other stuff that he's produced. Hell, talk tech with him on the phone for an hour, and you should be convinced that he's fluent with product design and construction.

He must have just added the warranty then, b/c I distinctly remember reading on his website there is no warranty, expressed or implied.

How do you plan to attach that rod to the e-brake lever?

Air but seriously I am still thinking about it. I will probably have to put a different arm off of the e-brake shaft and then probably use rod end and some aluminum rod. That way I can adjust it if I need to.

Looks like it's attached to the shifter in one pic. That would make for some real interesting driving. Haha.

First, brake, third, brake, fifth. Man that was fun Pinder I would be willing to make another, I actually have my first bracket sitting here. I think my teacher would frown on me making another for someone else but if you can find someone to cut it out, I can send you the cad file. It is a really simple 2d drawing but I already have it done.

That looks pretty sick TJ. Where did you get free time for this project?

well some how I had a couple days off from school plus spring break. Downloaded cad and got the digital caliper working and started taking measurements. Aside from that I have welding 2 times a week so I have all of those resources readily available and teachers who are willing to help.
