Thanks! This is the best thing! USA made (ALL materials are also), supports our economy!
:p. But like I said, still an amazing piece! I will post pics when I get it back from my machinist this weekend. Just dropped it off tonite. It will be port matched and the transitions from the runners to flange are going to be smoothed out and blended, along with adding the external wastegate flange.

Ouch..nevermind.....
It does look like a quality piece though. Just because parts are made in china doesnt mean its crap. China can make great parts and crappy parts. Its all up to the buyer.
Guys we
MAKE these in the USA, the only purchsed parts are those 90* elbows and T's. We dont cast/forge here... No USA made company makes these (that we know of). Anywhere you look these will be made over seas. Every manifold that uses these (which most do) can state this too...
Flanges, machining, cutting, TIG welding is ALL USA done, here at TTR.
