cyberquest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 i would be interested in one, i would love to have one like the SFP header that used to be made for our cars. its not equal length but the runner are pointed up so they all push the air upwards and dont butt crosswinds like a log mani does.http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/Misc%20Quest%20Pics/36128_128216610544524_1000006855801.jpg as far as price, you know the cheaper the better. but we also dont want another header cracking epidemic i think the above head would require less material and way less weld time then a equal lentgh so i would hope that would help keep costs down. i would love to see about a $400 price tag if possible. there are already $600 and $800 dollar headers avalible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) I'd do one up and post some pics, then go from there. What style header? Log, equal length, etc...What material type?Wastegate type? EDIT: $400ish would be perfect. Edited July 30, 2010 by dmyers151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotStock88 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 From Treadstone performance a cast manifold w/external gate provision is priced at 299+shipping - i would shoot for this $300 range because most starquest owners are on a low/small budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starquestG54B Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 guys comeon hes askin us what he should charge .($99) would be great and fair fully welded and made out of solid titanium ! jk $300-$400 sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykore Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 If you can keep it under $500 shipped that would be awesome and I think you would sell them. Over $500 and you probably won't sell many. Not that they aren't worth that price, it's just what you can expect people to pay. I think as you get into that higher price range not only do your potential sales go down, but those that are left that would spend that kind of money tend to go with a local fabricator where they can track the progress of the purchase and talk face-to-face with the dude building it.

pigpen Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I might be interested...you should definitely built one first and post some pics...the 200-300 range is about right...keep it simple, functional, and affordable and you'll have a market for them...

importwarrior Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) how about one like this. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/Header/h3.jpghttp://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/Header/h3.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/Header/h5.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/Header/h2.jpg Edited August 3, 2010 by importwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C300 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'll be in the market for stock flanged one. Have Marnel Head. Just got a 19c from board member MI_Mitsu. can't see limiting it with a stock manifold. Guy in my local car club has a CNC plasma cutter. Guess bending the tubes is the art part.

MiniSRT4 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Since I am actually going to be purchasing a t3/t4 off a friend of mine for a KILLER price, I was actually tring to figure out who/where to get a manifold since the turbo is externally gated. Id pay around 400$. What are you using, can you make em both externally gated and not? I am def interested to see what you come up with. A nice ss equal length would be nice! er, um, I mean around 50-100$ would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLATBROKE313 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ya for sure + 1 on the header,Would like to see around the $400 area ship this could get pretty big. Thanks for adding your support to make the quest better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo'd Mighty Max Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) I might be interested in this as well. I am used to paying 800-1600 for good manifolds for my hondas. so 400 is really no sweat Edited August 15, 2010 by Turbo'd Mighty Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
