Hmm It looks similar to the Jun design but half the price. Never seen anyone with one though.

looked at it.
being as i have a flow bench at my shop i can tell you that those "velocity" stacks are straight up trash.

i honestly have not seen anything worse in my life.

I don't know about that, I mean this are practically exact replicas of JUN surge tanks, and there's a lot to say about them. JUN definitely has their high rep due to their great products and R&D, they just don't skimp out on stuff. Maybe for you Silvia guy's it wasn't too great I guess? As for MR2 owners the few that actually run it range from 600whp-900whp MR2's, and these are with the KU mani's.

If anything I'll update you guy's on how it performed on my car as there was a group buy for them. Estimated arrival: Late February most likely.

EDIT: I took a look at KU's mani for you guys, and yeah.. The quality seems a bit different from the manifolds they made for MR2's. On eBay they quote us $990+ $150 shipping. Our GB was $649 shipped, 40 people.

Here's what ours looks like:

Anyhow, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

im gunna recomend against it. i had 2 send mine to mazworx for some serious work. ended up costing me half what the manifold itself cost to get it to work right.

again i would say na. get a real jun. or step up to a mazworx sheet metal. but your best bet would be a greddy unit.
i got mine a lil cheaper thru them but still spend 400 bux on welding and machine work. not worth the hastle.
