medieval tubular manifold!!!

[I<3Groceries]

Think I'll be hopping aboard.

[Scatt Nasty]

I have been searching for a manifold for about 3 weeks now. Going back and forth between them. This manifold is beautiful and I was on the fence about it because of some peoples postings of fitment issues. Seems to be alot of fitment issues with the manifolds for this car. I decided what the hell, So last night I ordered this manifold. Was told build time is approx 5 weeks, I have untill I get my m3m FMIC.(So all of 09) Once I get this installed I will take pictures of it going on and pictures of fitment to hopefully clear up any issues of this supposedly not fitting.

I like the idea behind this manifold and I imagine it will make good power. Glad to hear the corrections have been ironed out.

Scatt,

The fitment issues you are hearing, are from the "user" using a test bed manifold. It was one of the first manifolds build for a big turbo. You can actually thank that user for letting medieval know what needs to be changed for the current improvments on the manifolds you guys are receiving in the next 5 weeks.

[Scatt Nasty]

good stuff. Im looking forward to this manifold.

[spiker98]

This is great news!! I can't wait to see pictures. I have been stressing trying to find a manifold... I have everything else!! This is a little more than the other options but from what i have read and see in the quality I don't mind shipping out the extra cash.. Medieval I think you will be hearing from me soon... and plus I already have a 44mm BLACK tial... what else would I put that on??!!??

[jwdp54]

i'm waiting for the finished product. to bad i moved before i could see it in person....

[zoomed777]

looks like a very nice piece, looks like a good upgrade...

[phillyb]

bump. who else has installed this shit?

[Scatt Nasty]

ordered 2APR..

Patiently waiting for mine. Hopefully it will be here any day now.
I can't bitch too much, accidental ceramic coats at no charge are full of win.

[jwdp54]

i wonder if the OP's car blew up. it's taken way to long to install this and the BT

Until you finally get it, then it doesn't even fit.

How doesn't it fit? each manifold is built from a turbo and car as a jig.

[spiker98]

I also should have one any day... I have the blacked out cp-e fmic waiting in my workshop for them to have a nice little photo shoot together.

[phillyb]

groceries, what happened with ms6cop? from this thread?

Hey what do you know, this thread is going nowhere - Mazda6 / Atenza

he's registered here, can you ask him to chime in please

[I<3Groceries]

I've been wondering if he got a refund or not. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in here. I PMed him.

Who want to buy my Medieval mani when I get it?!

[I<3Groceries]

So, how many have this mani installed on their car?

How many didn't encounter firment issues?

[phillyb]

groceries, i talked to medieval about fitment, and he said that ms6cop and about one other person were the only two out of 25 or so manifolds he sent

[cbspeed3]

do you have abuilt motor???

[I<3Groceries]

What?!?! Where the hell are these people?
They need to post.
Medieval's image is taking a hit. If there are indeed some install success stories with this mani, there are quite a few of us that would like to hear about it.

Are you asking me, CB?

I do not have a built motor.

[Mzspeed]

I, for one, barely fitted the manifold on my Speed6...still pissed though about the shitty fitment and if there was another option available, I would ship it back to Medieval in a sec.

I am just hoping that it will perform well and won't break anything on my car (there was alot of pushing involve to get the AC line out of the way).

That said, I am 100% certain that nobody with a Speed6 has been able to properly install the EWG.
Fitment is almost impossible because of the AC line.

If you can prove me wrong, please post pics. (I repeat I said Speed6 and not Speed3).

Thanks MZ.

And you 24 others, feel free to chime in.

[Erich]

I would, but I am going on 2 weeks of excuses now of why a completed manifold has yet to ship.

[I<3Groceries]

Tell me about it. I think mine was supposed to ship three weeks ago.
My left nut could run a better business.

[phillyb]

how long you been waiting?
i'm assuming 8 weeks or so...that seems, no joke, to be the turnaround on these

[Erich]

Yeah a bit over 8 weeks now. They said is was going to ship 2 weeks ago Wednesday, but now have been saying ever since that they are waiting on the mounting hardware. They said that UPS tracking showed that was going to be in last Wednesday, which incidentally is when they stopped responding to my emails.

[I<3Groceries]

It's been about 8 weeks, I think.
It's not the turnaround that annoys me.
It's getting ZERO updates from them, regarding when I should expect it.
And when I finally ask, they give me phony ETA's all the time.
Just annoying. KnoWhutImean, Vern?

[phillyb]

yeah, i definitely know what you mean. he replied to me well enough, but i don't send that many complaints. even when his traction bars completely fucking broke, i just sent an email for new brackets, he politely obliged. nator got a hold of them and reworked them.

[Erich]

Don't know which is worse, no updates or bs updates.

[phillyb]

well bs is easy to see through. send him an email.
sales@medievalllc.com

[Erich]

Sent one last Thursday and then again today, both with no response.

[Scatt Nasty]

Mine was ordered April 2nd, and was supposed to be shipped May 20th. It's only been like 9 days, and they shipped it USPS... So hopefully I will get it any day now.

[I<3Groceries]

Hurry up and get that bitch onto the car.
Forgive my ignorance, Scatt, but do you have a BT, or will you be running the Medieval mani with a OE or reworked K04?

It seems they like to guarantee fitment with the K04. It's the ATP turbos they claim cause difficulties with direct fitment of their mani.

I have the next 3 days off, so If it would get here sometime today or tomorrow I could get it on asap. I am running stock turbo. I did a baseline of 321/348 and now Ill be going back to see what kind of gains in the power band I get with the medieval. I pray that it fits.

I have also had no luck with Medieval responding to my emails. I simply asked for an update on my order status. Ya know...shipped...or not... yeah I got nothing.

I hope maybe someone with an "in" with them might be able to give us some insight? Darkstar??

Come on guys with 25 of these manifolds ordered and over $23,000 in their pocket for them. You think we would get an update...

Noice! Looking forward to this. I haven't seen anybody bolt one to a K04. Good luck!

I agree, Spiker. We need to hear from some of these guys, if in fact this 25 figure is factual.

Exactly, so did he actually say that he sent out 25 manifolds?
Phaillyb, did he say that?

word, i'm also going on stock k04. my numbers are not as good as scatt's. i dyno'd 270/306 a week ago. i'll also try and post post manifold numbers.

Originally Posted by spiker98 Exactly, so did he actually say that he sent out 25 manifolds? Phaillyb, did he say that?

somewhat. he said the number cop is #24 and out of 24, cop is the 2nd.

[SneakyP86]

Philly why is it you find it necessary to answer peoples questions for Darkstar and Mideviel? Last I heard you werent a spokesman for them, or are you just their bitch now whoring yourself for parts? I hate to say it philly cause you know I like you but it kind of looks that way to me. specially when you can darkstar lurking monitoring this post but feeling it necessary for him to respond to customers issues like he is right at thai moment.

[phillyb]

ps...i also didn't explain. hahahaha
