I would be interested in the setup also, if any more show up!

**PICKMUP** · 04-24-2007, 10:37 PM

I'm still working on the special order...I may be able to get them shipped in air freight...I'll let you know.
Thanks again,
Frank

Thanks Frank..

**Canadian694x4** · 05-04-2007, 09:53 AM

Received Mine Today. Thanks Frank! Pleasure Doing Business, Left Ya Some Rep Too.

dan42 · 05-05-2007, 11:41 AM

Frank - do they work with A/C on the Passenger side? Do you have any more?

msgross · 05-05-2007, 06:20 PM

any updates Frank?

**PICKMUP** · 05-05-2007, 10:51 PM

They are coming---for sure! and should be pretty soon. I got an update this week that our order was being processed, but no firm date. I am guessing two weeks +.
Will they work with AC? Well they are the same GM ramhorn bolt pattern and our trucks did come with straight down rams (4x4 & 4spd), so take a good look at the pics and see if there are any problems.

dan42 · 05-06-2007, 01:50 AM

Thanks Frank. Do you know anything about the dependability of the mini starters? I'm wondering if they're similar in durability to the full size starters.

Mt Man Chad · 06-19-2007, 12:40 PM

TTT Update?

**PICKMUP** · 06-21-2007, 11:38 PM

I give up...again! There may not be any more of these, at this price, anyway.
The manufacturer says they can't do another production run at this price and the buyer for the distributor will not pay more...at this time.
Here is what we are doing to use the remaining RH manifolds that are still available.
Remove the 5/16 tube by punching it out or drilling both ends and then just tapping it for 1/8" pipe thread allen plug...Like they do on the air pump holes on all aftermarket ramhorns.
...OR you can weld up the holes. I still like to countersink the allen plugs about 1/4" so there is a bottom in the hole to weld to.
These manifolds are the same price as the other side. $130shipped w/gaskets & studs. I can supply 2.5 mandrel bent pipes for $50 pr (these will not have flanged ends--just pipes). See the first pic.
I won't have time to do any more of the fully prepped sets, so it is a "Do It Yourself" project from here on.
There are a few sets left, so post on here if you would like to order some of these.

**jaros44sr** · 06-22-2007, 06:16 AM

Frank, put me in line for a set. The 130 covers a set? RH and LH is the same? J.

**PICKMUP** · 06-22-2007, 11:24 AM

Yes, $130 is for a pair, w/gaskets & studs and shipping included.
You can PM me for PayPal/MC/VISA or other payments arrangements.

HOTFUN · 07-02-2007, 11:46 PM

Frank. I will take a set. Please advise if you still have two with the holes and I will Paypal the money right away. Thanks, Mark

**PICKMUP** · 07-03-2007, 11:44 AM

Yes,
We do still have a few of the manifolds with the small heat tube holes...and they will ship out right away. We just got a few more sets of mandrell bent pipes in also...
Thanks, Frank

HOTFUN · 07-03-2007, 04:25 PM

Frank
Payment sent via Paypal. Thanks, Mark

Americanrider · 07-04-2007, 03:16 AM

Hey Frank, what is the price for local pickup of a pair of RH's?

**PICKMUP** · 07-04-2007, 03:21 PM

Same price shipped to you or shipped here to me...

**PICKMUP** · 07-12-2007, 11:38 AM

They are just about gone! There are only a couple sets left now and we still aren't getting any answers or encouragement on additional production runs or other manufacturers to make more in this price range.
You may be able to get some Dorman brand similar manifolds through some of the larger auto parts stores.
Again, don't send any $$$ until you post here and let me make sure we still have a set left.
Thanks...Boy we sold a ton of these!!!

**jaros44sr** · 07-12-2007, 06:48 PM

Just curious, did mine ship yet. Can't wait to hook 'em up. Thanks J.
