Looks like courtesy finally has some MEVIs for sale
http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...e=A32-MANIFOLD
After what was probably a full year of being sold out, it looks like courtesyparts.com finally has some brand new MEVIs for sale. Looks like the price went up tho, didnt it used to be like 379? I honestly thought this was going to become a rarity item but I guess not, atleast yet.
Doubt they will sell many more tho, doesnt seem too many people are in the market for mevi's anymore, or if they are, they want them dirt cheap.

In terms of top end, both the MEVI and 00VI are easily better than the USDM manifold. 
Thanks for sharing your findings black_maxed95.

Well ya its no debate that the 00vi is better than the mevi. Its really not by too much tho. I ended up doing the mevi cause it looks alot nicer, and it fits with the NWP spacers.

the main difference w/ the 00vi and mevi is the low end power that the 00vi has but as in top end they are very similar like the wizard said...and yes the mevi is cleaner but like i said i dont regret it.

Read the 'All Motor' stickies.....tons of great info on this subject.
Chances are slim to find a MEVI on ebay. Best bet is right here in the 4th Gen Classifieds forum.

LOL I purchased mine a week ago, and a week ago the price was still $379. Atleast I got the better half this time around purchasing from Courtesy.

i heard that MEVI is pretty much samething as the stock one in terms of all the parts and installing...00VI, you have to use 5th gen parts and do a little of wire cutting and splicing

MaxB22 has a good deal on a mevi in the classifieds right now. Thats the best place to find them.
This new price is way too high now. 379 isnt too bad but 450? You can get 00VIs for less.
