Anyone buy one of these yet? Anyone hear about any of them?
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.
