    Make Pulsars great again! Excited to see what it will do. I know a few people running them and they have been solid.

    AC went out on my beater (well, it was taken out, long story), so I had to do something. Spend $500 on tools and parts to fix it? Nah, just spend a bunch of money on a replacement.

    I kinda wanted another van after owning one before, and this thing was just too cheap to pass up. Sure, it's got multiple accidents listed on the CarFax indicating severe damage on almost every panel, but I feel like we have a lot in common.

    Respect the van life. People who don't own them will never understand and continue to struggle with lesser vehicles.

    After waiting months on CP-e to produce my exhaust mainfold (they even gave me an 8 week promise in mid January), they have decided instead to discontinue their cast exhaust manifolds.

    Pretty thrilled with all that wasted time.

    Lookin like I will put the old setup back on while I figure out an exhaust manifold/downpipe.

    They're not making cast manifolds at all.

    I called edge trying to snatch up a PTE kit if they had a manifold in stock once I got wind of colds issues and he had mentioned sounded like they were stopped. Edge told me that CPE is stopping making cast manifolds period.

    What does everyone think about the corksport exhaust manifold? It's backordered as well but I at least trust them to be honest about getting more soon

    From what I gather they usually have a bit of issues on their V1 products but make it right if so. I would say go for it and from the looks of it if you end up wanting to run a turbo with a different flange you can buy the different one and switch it out right?

    Its got proper ewg placement and doesnt creep on spring pressure like the cpe.

    Only issue ive seen with the cs manifold is the dump tube isnt ms6 friendly for those running ewg.
