Artec Performance | Cast Stainless Turbo Manifolds

The pinnacle of turbo manifold technology, engineered and tested in Australia. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for the Artec Performance range. By utilising industry-leading SUS347 stainless steel investment casting, Artec has created a manifold that offers the flow characteristics of a high-end tubular header with the unbreakable durability of a cast unit. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery Australia-wide for the ultimate in exhaust path efficiency.

Investment Casting & Material Strength

Artec Performance manifolds represent a massive leap forward in exhaust component manufacturing. Unlike traditional tubular manifolds that are restricted by pipe diameters and the risk of cracked welds, Artec’s casting process allows for organic, smooth merging angles and internal shapes that maximise exhaust gas velocity and heat dispersion. This results in faster turbo spool-up and increased top-end power without the structural weaknesses associated with fabricated steel headers.

Our Artec sourcing capabilities cover all major performance platforms:
• Nissan RB & SR Series: Including high-response V-band and T3/T4 options designed to retain factory accessories like A/C and power steering.
• Toyota JZ Series: Compact and high-mount solutions for 1JZ and 2JZ engines, designed to accommodate even the largest modern turbochargers.
• Honda K-Series: From 70mm V-band manifolds to sidewinder configurations for maximum engine bay impact and performance.
• Mitsubishi Evo (4G63 & 4B11): Heavy-duty cast manifolds that significantly outperform restrictive factory units while maintaining high-heat reliability.

Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we understand the extreme thermal loads Australian performance cars face. Every Artec manifold is backed by a Lifetime Warranty, providing total peace of mind for your street or track build. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your Artec hardware is despatched with professional care and speed.

Artec Performance FAQ

Why is SUS347 Stainless Steel better for manifolds?

SUS347 is a superior grade of stainless steel specifically chosen for its exceptional heat resistance and durability. It can withstand the extreme temperatures of high-boost turbo applications without the warping or cracking issues commonly found in cheaper stainless or mild steel tubular manifolds.

Will an Artec manifold fit in my standard engine bay?

Yes. One of Artec’s core design philosophies is "intelligent fitment." Most of their range is designed to be as compact as possible, often allowing you to retain factory accessories like Air Conditioning and Power Steering, even when upgrading to a much larger turbocharger.

How quickly can you source Artec manifolds?

As an Australian-designed and supplied brand, we can offer excellent turnaround times. Most Artec Performance manifolds are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery across Australia.
