Probably wouldn't be the greatest but would get the job done. What are your power goals?

blox and spoolin both sell $200 cast iron manifolds

for $500 forged performance will sell you a high end ram horn hand built and welded in the NW that rivals the $800+ units sold elsewhere

do you have a downpipe or will you be needing one? also which wastegate on what motor? a tial will hit on a vtec head with the blox but clear with the spoolin log. one benefit to spoolin and their $200 log is if you don't have a downpipe the one you also order WILL fit right

this thing here is that great deal i mentioned on a ramhorn

GT35 for 300-350whp is a waste of time. A regular 57 trim should do the job at half the price, without mentioning spool will be 10x better and great powerband.

go with the log style cast iron manifold, pretty much hassle free, cheap and reliable, might want to make sure if you already have a turbo it will clear the block, another question is if you want to keep your ac.

i already have the turbo, got it cheap from a buddy who just bought it and tuned his setup which made the high 300's. he decided to go a different root so got it for 100. Still need the downpipe too and don't have AC or want it.
