Yep, I have yet to ever hear anything negative about any of their products, specifically their manifolds. Supposedly they are building an Evo which should be right up there with the best of them per a post an Alien Auto employee(I believe) made on Toonerz a while back.

Cool stuff, reasonable price for the process of welding used and the material selected.
Never heard of them before.

They were involved with the developement of my manifold through VPE. Check out VPE's website (http://www.victoryperformance.com/). Lifetime warranty to the original owner. I'm using the VPE design, not Alien Auto's design. :cool:

Looks likes weld-els, the bends cost about $4-5 each. There is nothing wrong with them, besides that 304L SS isn't the best material for an exhaust manifold, but they sure aren't expensive. Looks like they sell EBay intercoolers also.

Love that dual wastegate RX-7 setup on their main page.

I never said that there was anything wrong with them.
I am just saying, its looking like a $750 manifold judging by the design and the materials selected.

I've seen them around years back but haven't heard anything about them since. The dumb thing about most their manifolds is that they dont take the time to build them to clear radiator hoses so they nail you for another $125 for a radiator pipe.

There is so much time that goes into making manifolds that people never figure in when looking @ price. Like i cant believe some of the people who want to sell equal length manifolds for $400-500. There's way to much time involved for $400-500. I've never done a true equal length for under $600.
