Full Race mani's are not as thick as LoveFab's. i don't think they're the same material. anyone know for sure?

btw, i think the welds are the weak point not the material. anyone know for sure?

Are the LoveFab manifold the only ones welded along the runners like that? It may or may not be an issue but has that been used successfully over a long period (alot of heat cycles)?
I have always steered away from long welds like that where heat expansion and SS are concerned. I could be mistaken though, any thoughts?

my manifold has never even been fired up on a car yet. only mounted.
as far as ive seen , only Cody does this. the only reason i can assume why is becuase of extra bracing on the runners. if you look at the older ones they arent like that the runners almost look further apart as a whole.

Yes all those manifolds are nice but; out of all of them with one of them will let you use AC? because power is nice; but i would like to say i beat your azz with my AC on.

fullrace just released their a/c compatible setup, but i'm sure any of the other fabricators will make a custom a/c manifold (crosses fingers)

That's the pic on your site and that's what's representing your work. Take it off your site if you don't want people to see it...

edit: and just a note, the fact that over 500hp was made on it means nothing at all. You can make 500+ on a log manifold easily...</TD></TR></TABLE>

agreed, i made 522@26psi on boost with a revhard log. bottom line is you get what you pay for here. full-race is still the highest quality and best thought out manifold on the market in my opinion.

its not the best pic but this is todds manifold.



we were making right at 500 at 20psi on pump gas...

you might be able to get better, but for the price and service you cant beat todds stuff

resorts back to you get what you pay for. the post was which is the best, not the best bang for the buck. they all work and some work better and last longer than others.

FULL-RACE!!!

Full-Race was first. They Researched, Designed, Engineered, Tested, and Developed the best turbo manifold on the market. period.

Others copied.


p.s. Cody/Lovefab's Manifolds are very nice as well. He learned from the best though.. What I like about Cody is that he offers many styles of manifolds to fit ur needs.. Cody's work has gotten really good.

Not this again, this will never happen. Please dont bring it up. I thought we had finally gotten away from this. Let the manifold community live in harmony.

If anything, Full-Race is in evolution of Kooks. Definitly not a copy.
