Yep $1300ish, but if you shop around you can get it cheaper. We pay about $1150 here in the ACT.

There is a difference visually between LS1 and LS6 style manifolds, the LS6 has a full bottom. Put two side by side and you will get what I mean.

LSX Garage is run by me and has nothing what so ever to do with Dean from Pakenham Automotive. The Staff here at LSX Garage are Rob Timms, Phil Genio, Brett Simmonds (me) and thats it... All of us have worked in other performance shops previously and now we are out having a go at it for ourselves. As for Pakenham Automotive.... Who knows. But thanks for your concern Ryhs, Let me know if you need any cars tuned.
