A turbo question

How many manifolds are out there can you readily buy for a LD/DX or EX that is turbo ready. My father owns a machine shop and I have been thinking about manufacturing turbo manifolds and selling them for a good price. Im just curious if theres a market for these turbo manifolds?

They are. There are kits all over the internet for a DIY. As far as manifolds:

RevHard (T3) Log
Stafford Fabrications (T3) Equal Length
Turbo Performance (T3) Equal Length - Remove A/C
Max Rev (T3) Log
HKS (T25) Not out Yet - Equal Length
TurboDiscounters (T25) Won't sell separately - Equal Length I think
There is one more company that sells a log manifold for the D17, but they suck and I can't remember who it was.
