looks good! were you going for a specific length? or just getting some weight over the nose? seems longer than anything else out there.

Re: Vibrant SFWD Civic Build
 

Fab-work looks amazing. Why did ya'll go with that design on the manifold?

Subscribed!! Always a been a fan of this car, what's the goal this year. Amazing work!

Re: Vibrant SFWD Civic Build
 

Thanks to all for the positive comments!

3"in, 3.5"out. The manifold is being ceramic coated which greatly reduces the radiated heat, and those areas of the IC and bumper will be covered with heat reflective material.

The idea behind the manifold was to get as much runner length as possible for max high rpm efficiency and reduced reversion. We also wanted to try something different than the proven forward facing layout we've been using for the last few years.

The car is being built with Vibrant Performance fabrication components to showcase their awesome product line. Skunk2 suspension & engine components will be used throughout as well. It is going to be running a MoTec M800 and 8x Grams 2200cc injectors on FTW Purple, and we'll be doing some testing with the new Borg Warner 72mm units.

We hope to run consistently in the 8's @ 175+mph for starters. ;)

damn more pictures!!

Re: Vibrant SFWD Civic Build
 

Looks killer!!! Are you guys going with a closed front end for aero? Is that the reason for the dual core intercooler setup?
