There isn't enough interest to justify cutting manifolds anymore, & when i do cut them, they sit for ages & im stuck with bombardments of low ballers.
People don't realize the time investment & some monetary investment into each manifold.
I'll break it down:
1 dremel cutting bit-$6/manifold
3-5 sanding bits-$5/manifold
Dremel invested-$50
Dyno testing invested-$120
Minimum JY manifold cost 5hours from me-$15/manifold
Gas invested-$50 per round trip
Average of 4 cans of carb cleaner-$8
Shipping-$20(continental)
--------------------------
$274
__________________________
Dyno time-2 hours
Travel time to get manifolds-5 hours
Manifold removal time average-1 hour/manifold
Cutting time-3.5 hours
Cleaning time-2 hours
Packing time-1/2 hour
---------------------------
14 hours
Given the amount of money & time i've invested into bringing something cool to the table it just doesn't add up to waste time, continuing to cut manifolds with a lack of demand, with a solid asking price i've had set @ $100 i've found it quite difficult to sell, Which i find disgusting.

kuromu, I understand, but being the person i am, i felt it mildly unfair to off the last one without giving everyone a chance---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Not to be by any means offensive, but it's just too easy to modify the manifold by ones self, and to have two intake manifolds is a waste. I think as previously suggested, had you modified people's existing manifolds then sent them back it would have worked better.
Anyone who owns one your manifolds i'm sure appreciates all your efforts though.
BTW, what dyno results did you realize with your manifolds?

if its too easy, then cut it yourself i say. I ran an exchange program for awhile too, not much interest in that either.
shipping round trip is still $40 so add on my cost of cutting & its about the same as just buying one. Make sense?
