[QUOTE="Powerstroked162, post: 411153, member: 120"] Here's a quick rundown on the Apex based off your questions. If you need any more info, feel free to ask. Q:How are the units disassembled? A: We use a CNC mill to disassemble the manifolds Q:How are the units are ported? A: 5 axis cnc machine runs a plotted program in the runners. The rest of the manifold is ported by hand. Manifold floor is countersunk for the new hardware. Q:How are the units are assembled? A: Fully tig welded in a custom mount to ensure no warping and proper fit. Machine cutting for disassembly allows for a precise and accurate fit during the re-assembly stage. Manifold lids are machine tapped for custom ORB fittings. Manifold floor is countersunk for the new hardware. Q:Flow and performance gains? A: N/A Q:Application of epoxy for airflow or construction? A: Apex gets material added to it for porting/airflow purposes. We do not use epoxy Q:Offerings with EGR components removed, vs. EGR compliance? A: To make it preform, I couldn't justify leaving the EGR system intact. If I have customers looking for a SMOG compliant manifold, I use Elite's. [/QUOTE]
