Mine is supposed to arive tomorrow or monday. Can't wait to see it.

DoyoFCT · 08-02-2007, 11:41 AM

Same, cant wait to get it, I missed out on the first group buy... very glad I got in on this one and the new coating looks pretty sweet hopefully it's as durable as it looks

Oh and if someone installs the bronze coating manifold please post up some pics, mine is going to sit around for awhile (my car is going to be down for awhile)

CHItown90gst · 08-02-2007, 11:47 AM

Coming in later today. But im not going to be here

I'll take some pics when she arrives.

Here is a pic of mine:

This doesn't look bronze to me. Does it look bronze to anyone else?

wite96gs · 08-02-2007, 02:48 PM

It looks like a high nickel alloy to me.

Manifold came in today and well

...It blew my expectations away....The only thing it didn't come with was a rag and a tissue (rag to wipe it off after 5 seconds of looking at it and the tissue to wipe my tears away because of it being such a beautiful piece)

FP =

P.S. I'll try and get some pics up of it....

Thanks, Amber for the fast shipment, money well spent.......

DoyoFCT · 08-02-2007, 04:11 PM

I cant tell what color it is, due to the shitty picture..

blcknspo0ln · 08-02-2007, 04:54 PM

I got mine today as well. It's definitely a very bright bronze color, but I don't much really care for the color anyway, just as long as it does what it's supposed to do. Quality is TOP NOTCH and there is no casting flashes or major imperfections that I could see. The only thing I can say is that it is not as light as I thought it would be. I know they claim the weight difference against an evo 3 manifold, but I can only imagine that it is only a pound or two lighter than a stock 2g manifold. Anyway, I'll get a weight measurement and pictures later tonight.

Overall I'm very impressed with this product. I can't wait to bolt it up

Really OT, but I was rather impressed with myself with how large my 2g ports were compared (ported to the MAX, btw) to the FP ports.

FP so graciously included a license plate bracket, two fp stickers, and two business cards along with the shipment too

Gamble97 · 08-02-2007, 04:54 PM

It was a camera phone.

eclipsegsx1736 · 08-02-2007, 04:55 PM

Damn that looks nice. So who wants to trade for my jet black coating one

This is truely a quality manifold. I love mine.

It doesn't look like you got ceramic coating.

I'm pissed. I wanted to install this tonight too. I'll get pics with a better camera tonight.

blcknspo0ln · 08-02-2007, 09:09 PM

Um., if you paid for ceramic coating, you should have gotten one that is ceramic coated. If you ordered the bronze you can definitely tell it is NOT a silver color. It looks more like a pale gold to me. You can easily tell in person. Also look at the first post, the first two pictures are of an uncoated and the next 3 are the coated pics.

If that's the case, just call FP, i'm sure they'll take care of the mixup.

Got mine in front of me, its definitely silver and its most definitely ceramic coated. Looks like that Jet-Hot coating.

prophecymiller · 08-03-2007, 12:16 AM

Now that some more people have them...can we hear about the performance???!!! Also I hear they make the car sound different and kind of more pulsey??? Any possibility that you gentleman can get us a vid so we can hear it at idle and wot?

Gamble97 · 08-03-2007, 01:18 AM

I did a vid today of how my car currently is, I'm going to do one for afterwards too.
Only thing is I need a new downpipe gasket because it's leaking

So I'll post up tomorrow. Just have to find a place to host it.

esoung · 08-03-2007, 06:42 AM

FP never put up a pic of the bronze ceramic coating or at least I can find one so I can't define what color it is supposed to be, but you can tell if there is a coating. It is not very clean coating, you can always tell whether or not is has a coating by looking at the FP emblem on the manifold.
