Similar, but not as long of runners because of cast limitations. But, they will be equal length

no, but this will be better because its stainless cast, and WG flanges are interchangeable.

Is this manifold made for the compressor to be on the driver side or passenger side? I'll be in the market REAL soon for manifolds with A/C compatibilty.

cast is the ultimate way to make anything that deals with high-heat applications. No matter what way you look at it, a weld is a weak point. Granted, if welded well, it will last for years. But, cast is still best. Why do OEM manufacturers use cast on anything that they can? Because its very durable.
A proper Stainless cast manifold will last pretty much longer than any car will , and itll look good while doing it.

i hear ya on the OEM manufacturers using it...... so you're saying this will outlast a full race(ffgeoff) or one of your "equal length style" mani's? i just thought that people here like the tubular ones better, anyways, good luck,

I belive OEM Manufacturers Use Cast on anything they can For the Fact Once they Build a Mold They Can Mass Produce The item Cheaper and more Easier!

No doubt Cast Manifolds are Way to go for Trouble Free Fun, Thats Why I have one!

I would have to say, yes I do think the manifold will last longer. Because there are no welds, there is less chance for error.
For those who still want the crazy "welded" tubular manifolds, Im still producing those for prototypes, one-offs, etc. Im going the "cast" route because it seems to be the best way to go for the average user who wants awesome gains, great driveability, great looks, and even greater durability.
