wastegate location is the obvious one....which could lead to boost creep more so on the Drag mani than the IP

i went from a Drag to a Revhard (very similar to inline pro). I have to say I do like the revhard manifold better. the runners/ports look bigger just by looking at it.

Yes InlinePro has a much better WG placement to control boost creep. Also InlinePro is CAST STAINLESS STEEL which is very very nice BUT then again they also make just a Cast Iron one too. Inline manis are great


I did have a Drag Gen 3 kit before and it did creep

plus i think the IP has a better overall design....the runners all dump into the center rather than kinda dumping 1-2 and 3-4 then the collector.....that might aid the top end a little....

I had crazy boost creeping issues with the Drag manifold. I went with InlinePro and couldn't be happier, better w/g placement, spools alittle quicker, doesn't get as hot and cools down faster then the Drag (being cast stainless steel). Best of all no boost creeps/spikes!

the inline pro cast and the SS have the same design just different material. For the price of the IP, you could get a really nice tubular log

Inline pro mani is way better. I have seen about 4 people switch from the drag to the inline and heard nothing but good things. My drag creeped like crazy when i was turbo. And one of my friends cracked.

I just bought an inline pro cast stainless steel for a street setup I'm working on. I have to say it's a really nice piece. I used to have the cast iron which okay...

InlinePro is a real nice manifold for the price.

i like my drag mani.......i have never had any creep what so ever.....i run my car anywhere from 7psi to 17psi....i run a TIAL wg....i dunno if that helps........

i could redo is i would run the IP just because of the WG placement...even thou i have not had issues.....

i also got my mani, turbo housing and closed loop DP HPC coated....it made a big difference in my underhood temps....something to think about before u install

I'd take the Inline Pro over a tubular log anyday. The tubular log (ie: above pic) flows like a Drag maniofld with 1-2 and 4-3 then into the turbo. The Inline Pro, although not equal length, still has all four runners collected into the turbo.

A SpoolinPerformance Quick4 Turbo Manifold would be more ideal if comparing to an inline Pro. That, I would have over the Inline Pro if similar priced

I had a drag manifold I I do not remember the runners flowing into each other. They all met at the "collector" unlike a true log manifold. I have some pictures but none are from a digi cam. I'll see if I can get them up. I would take a drag manifold over that log manifold. BTW, I had no boost creep issues at 14 psi. I was using a tial 35 mm.
