This thing is soo bad ***. I would recomend this work of art to anyone doing a custom kit.


Or look at all the pics here:

wait til you polish it I'm nearly done with mine, I'll post pics when it's done

 

You can retain your A/C with this mani yes?

inline pro mani

 

yes, a/c can be retained.

 

Piece of Art work

 

very badass

 

how much & will it work with Drag piping

 

you'll have to modify the down pipe

damn art you are spending a lot of $$$ lately.

 

IT will clear the A/C if your using less then 3 inch downpipe. However, if your using a Drag or Revhard, you must cut it in 2 spots and get it rewelded to fit.

Also...when you polish it, it will look nice and all....but after a few hours it'll turn really dark purple

 

smelling group buy?

my hands up

 

very nice indeed

 

cool!

 

You can fit a 3" downpipe if you do it the way I do. Its not a full 3" dp but rather the 2.5" flare to 3".

Falcon,

art

 

can you keep the stock fans or do you need slim fans?

Just wondering cause my SFP allows for stock fan on drivers side...and retains a/c

SFP

 

I second that.

 

its almost an exact replica of the rev-hard. The only difference is the WG placement and the material but it looks almost exactly the same. Also, all the runners are very smooth like a baby's butt. Also, only 9lbs...

ok.im up for one of those bad boys! who wants a gb? i do!!!

 

work of art? trust me, that is one of the worst designed exhaust manifolds I have ever seen. The wastegate flange is mounted to release the same as an internal would, at a 90 degree turn for the exhaust, which almost completely defeats the purpose of using an external wastegate. The tubing collects in a manner to save money and space, which is going to cause alot of hot spots, which will reduce velocity and make it more liable to crack later on in its life. The exhaust even has to make a 90 degree turn to make it into the turbine housing, that is NOT a good design. The outer 2 runners are angled so that they will push on eachother, yet another mistake in the design, that will make it even more liable to cause enough backpressure to route its exhaust back into the combustion chambers. The bolt holes are all the same size too, its best to have the outer holes larger than the inner holes, this will keep them from expanding and seizing the bolts. I'm glad to see a true performance enthusiasts and not another body kit toating ***, turbo is the way to go, but be carefull on what parts you choose, whoever designed that either 1) didnt know what they were doing 2) didnt care and wanted to save money. An example of a manifold that is a "work of art" would be the revhard tubular manifold.

 

yeeeaaaah. you're really smart.

this is a proven manifold design. proven to make decent power and proven to be good for streetable cars. its not an all out drag racing design. you can keep the AC with this. its got a guarantee not to crack. lifetime.

you sound like you're from the weld els and tubes camp. so you're pretty familiar with manifolds cracking i guess.

this is the first piece i have ever seen that is cast stainless steel.

thanks for sharing your opinion. you came off a little harsh though. body kits are gay.

 

lol, sorry man, im a nit picking ***. Ask my buddy Xander, he was bitching at me while I was typing that because I wont sell him a nitrous kit unless its direct port since I dont trust his crappy intake manifold on his 1.5l non-vtec crx to evenly distribute it, lol. As far as the body kit thing, look at my banner that appears at the top (Benchmark Racing), it says "function before form" (aka "i hate body kits"). Sorry if I came off as an ***, I find a reason to bitch and bicker about everything, its my job.

 

do you do armchair racing as well as bench racing?

 

i too also prefer tubular but rock on to the new manny

 

will this thing rust like the drag and revhard?
