No!

IMO EHing any manifold other then a DH UIM is a complete waste of money.

At $400-450 per pass you would be spending a fortune to make your's a triple honed. (Yes that's $800-900 plus shipping both ways!)
A stock to triple honed = $1200-1350
Even if you got a insider deal you are still looking at $650+ & $1000+ respectively to make it a triple honed.

Now you see why buying a DH UIM will always be cheaper compared to trying to make one yourself.
Buying them for $330 (BAT's old price IIRC) was highway robbery!!!

However with that said this is also why Ford may be considering not carrying the SVT UIM's anymore. IIRC they are back ordered indefinitely.
They probably got a killer deal when buying the EH process in bulk for 20-25,000 manifolds (15k+ production (SVT/ST200) plus 01 ST200 order) but I doubt they will get such a deal on a small restock order.
If they can't turn a large profit you know they won't do it just to carry a specialty part for a defunct car 3 years out of production.



SICK!!! I never expected it to be THAT much!! So what kind of gains would I be looking at for a triple extrude honed over the single?
