5e colin Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 still its the same shitty size on the collector !! whats the point in having wider runners if they get squashed just the same like the stock 1 ??? no benefit to be had your just paying for a stupid name JAM a prted stock vs 1 of those will be same in performance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzadude Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 ^^^^ but you can say you have a JAM MANIFOLD thats worth 300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Since when did people's attitude change from wanting proper JDM parts to saying they're shit and no better than a standard ported mani and not worth anything? still its the same shitty size on the collector !! whats the point in having wider runners if they get squashed just the same like the stock 1 ??? no benefit to be had your just paying for a stupid name JAMa prted stock vs 1 of those will be same in performance The collector size is fine, the turbos that will be used on these manifolds (CT9's and hybrids) are small anyway, the difference on these manifolds is the runners, it's clear just by looking at that picture above that a standard ported mani wont ever flow as well as a JAM one. IMO people are only slagging this off so they can justify spending money on a shiny stainless steel one. This mani also lets you keep the OEM look which some people want.

Gainzy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ste91 makes sense all anybody has to know is how wrong can Jam be? They were thrashing lambo's around the Tsukuba 10 years ago with reliable power the problem is the parts are old and well used so most of the parts have been overtaken by newer rivals I would only buy one if it was new which is never going to happen.

5e colin Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 ste91 you can say what you want !!! if you pay 100£ extra on the 300 you can but a PROPER WEPR kit from sasha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It makes sense to buy the wepr kit simply for the lifetime warranty and better power gains and for the little extra as above their price's are just too good for what you get for the asking price of the jdm parts because some people just want silly cash sometimes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It may not be worth £300 anymore as there are alternatives out there now, but there's no reason to slag it off, it still stands as a good manifold that is highly unlikely to crack and it retains the OEM look. Yes you can buy a WEPR one for a bit more but reverse the situation, lets say the JAM mani is worth £200-250 for example, compare it to those cheap shitty low grade stainless manifolds that people buy, I've seen them for around £100-150, so just say someone buys one of them, it cracks (which it is guaranteed to do), you then have to either repair or replace it which means you spend more money and time, so you may as well have just spent extra in the first place and bought a good manifold like this JAM one. Just because it's not all shiny and new does not mean it's worthless and shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) still its the same shitty size on the collector !! whats the point in having wider runners if they get squashed just the same like the stock 1 ??? no benefit to be had your just paying for a stupid name JAMa prted stock vs 1 of those will be same in performance Now now 'colin' calm down All the exhaust gases have to go through a ct9 flange so the neck is there whatever mani you run. granted a wepr or zisco might flow slightly faster but it wont make much odds. (PS go custom manifold/external gate/bigger turbo = problem solved Lol) It may not be worth £300 anymore as there are alternatives out there now, but there's no reason to slag it off, it still stands as a good manifold that is highly unlikely to crack and it retains the OEM look.
