ANYONE have good results from the Steed Speed Manifolds yet?

You dusted off the 'ol tin foil hat, I seeLOL

I remember when josh and I announced our manifolds, I got an email from Tadd wanting to be an exclusive dealer. Pm'ed back and forth for a week, then nothing. Seems like something's up, or he doesn't know what he wants to use.

Why you guys so butt hurt that someone else tested the manifolds and they worked better than what we tried on our setups (totally different than yours)

Is elite coming out a exhaust manifold is that why all the negative comments are coming out to make one product look bad so when you guys come out with one you will be able to sell yours? Something doesn't seem right I think you have other issues I don't think a exhaust manifold could screw up your power and driveability but I could be wrong

In a single turbo setup these manifolds are the **** period!!

Can you provide any butt dyno graphs?

Also, have you calibrated your butt dyno recently?

Tadd isn't building exhaust manifolds folks. Sorry to kill your rumors

I love all the animosity on these forums, it keeps me entertained on a slow work day

I assumed that was a joke. No, we have no interest in building exhaust manifolds.

The product you offered was nice, I didn't want to be exclusive, just thought they looked nice enough to resell. Unfortunately by the time you got them ready to sell, Leen at Steedspeed released his. His looked a Million times nicer and better engineered than yours. So I went with the better product, sorry yours wasn't the better unit.

Glad everything worked out for you.

Jared have you guys dynoed your manifolds by any chance? Just curious and looking for a comparison.

When I get time away from RCD & my farm, itll happen. The only thing I've even changed on my truck in 2 years is traction bars. My down time is minimal, and closest dyno is 2 hours away

Is anyone planning on doing testing on these manifolds with another truck soon or where are we at with all of this? I know it is pretty new for all of us but just getting an idea if I should do my own test or just wait a little bit. Also did anyone get any updated manifolds if they exist yet?

Jeff@Spartan · Sep 26, 2012

I know a guy on our tech support forum just installed the RCD manifolds. I don't think the truck is running yet. I told him to post up his thoughts on them once he gets some seat time. He is going from 6.4 manifolds and up-pipes to the RCD manifolds and up-pipes. I'm interested to read his thoughts.

Jerry,

Leen is shipping us an updated test set early next week. We will be testing the current units and the test units against stock 6.4's and 6.0's.

Thanks alot for the update on these Tadd. It is much appreciated. Hope for everyone that we see some good numbers this time around. Really think that you guys are on your A-game out there at Elite. Keep up the good work Tadd and crew.

You really believe we are angry that someone else tested the manifolds? How do we know they work better on your set up? Cause you say so, well sorry that doesn't fly. I could give a chit who builds them or where they are tested, just if they are or aren't what everyone thought they would be. Mike may have something else that went goofy on his truck at the same time the manifolds went on. We just don't know til they are swapped out.

Based on your last sentence alone, I am taking my HP's off and going with a single and SS manifolds. I mean who could ever dispute that statement?

When are we going to see pics of the insides of these manifolds and some real numbers?!

Huh? What? Wrong thread?

Meh. Carry on Gents.

Dzchey21 · Sep 26, 2012

Damn, gotta love all this crap.

I for one enjoy actual numbers data.

However dallas truck is moving out at 12.1

dstryr · Sep 26, 2012

You know whats better than the actual dyno results in this thread? All the grown men arguing like babies over whose **** is better...lol. :flipa:

The only thing I have to say is that this product is proof that a lot more tests need to be done by everyone involved before selling product that is unclaimed.... 4+ vendors on this site sell custom manifolds and none have dyno results to back up the product vs stock or 6.0 manifolds.
