I am planning to sleeve and build a D-series and was wondering what is better, a top mount or a ram horn style manifold.....I just need them to work and fit under the hood of my sol...

Thanks
Stephen

im pretty sure, full-race conducted a test between the two and had the top mount come out overall the better manifold
good luck

The Top mount will give slighty more power over the ram horn. They are both excellent choices to choose from. Both will make insane power, so it does kinda come down to your budget and what u like better.

no budget, eh? that must be nice. i'm all about the SOHC turbo, but if you have no budget, might as well go B series. Or buy a porsche

topmount is a lengthy mani and will help prevent gas recirculation better then a ram in high RPM's.

I think the ramhorn works just as well as long as your not revving to 10k on a .63ar turbine.

my $.02 cuz ive used both.
