I did a search, but haven't been able to find very much. The posts seem to be fuzzy at best regarding whether tubular or cast is better. I

I guess better depends on what matters, which to me would be reliability first, power second.

Any thoughts?

 

I don't think a manifold will make a bit of difference as far as reliability is concerned. I think the tubular might raise temps a bit under the hood, but should usually give a little better performance.

 

well...maxrev is forged so it wont crack on you...

 

Inlinepro is cast stainless steel.

Maxrev is welded together forged stainless steel weld els.

You have no other comments than that Dustin? I'd be interested in your opinion...

 

If I had to choose, I'd go with the Inline Pro...

 

I think the InlinePro one will probably yield more power, but the Maxrev manifold is made of better quality materials.

I have the maxrev manifold and I am happy with it.

I would wait to see waht other think of the inlinepro manifold. Afterall it just came out. You have no idea if its good, or if it has major flaws. To me it seems like a overpriced paperweight, but what do I know. For its price you can get something that has been around for a bit and has good reviews. I myself wouldnt just right on the bandwagon because its a new component for turbo systems. You never know, just like some say that their head gaskets are a waste of money cause its just 2 factory parts on top of each other--the mannies might be the same.

I would say......let others be the guinee pigs!

 

Hey wassup? I'm buying this next week on Tuesday. I'll take very good close up pics of it.

All I gotta say is, its cast stainless steel, so no dirty looking WELDS! And plus it can be polished to a mirror shine like a DC Sports SS header except no welds!

The ports are huge and match up with the exhaust manifold ports which means good flow unlike the Drag. This manifold is top notch.

The external wastegate flange is basically right in between all four runners so there is no boost spike when you upgrade to a 3 inch downpipe.

 

hey dustin how long did it take for you to get your maxrev manifold from the moment you ordered it.

 

Just spoke to maxrev the other day. They have plenty of manifolds in stock. The downpipes are holding them up now, specifically the flexpipe for the dp's---they may have them in now though, it was 3 days ago that I called to see about the progress on mine.

*EDIT* Just got off the phone with Curtis. He has 60+ manifolds in stock on the shelf. He has received the flexpipes and downpipes are being made as we speak. Also, finally, he has a phone machine at the shop now. So contacting them should be no problem at all.
Yay, I am so happy@!@! I should have my manny and dp by the end of next week or the beginning of the week after that!!
