hey man...
there are 2 kits being sold, one being the toyomoto and the other being the F-max kit. Both are basically the same kit, and as far as quality goes, pictures of both look the same, but people have said that toyomoto has better quality....I wonder if toyomoto buys this kit from F-max and then resales it???????
As far as price..Look to spend between $4-5k for the kit and a little more electronics, boost controller, egt, A/F meter, etc.
Good luck

well, the toyomoto kit, IMO is built better... fully cast-iron manifold that isnt susceptible to cracking like i've heard about the f-max manifold... like everything in life, you pay for what you get =)

We sell the FMax, their manifold is tubular steel (ie:HKS)
and wont
crack, the Toyo "cast" manifolds are prone to cracking Way more...and Fmax gives you more for your $.
