i was doing some research and i came across this website: http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1790

and i liked alot of the style manifolds they had ESPECIALLY the 2nd to last one. as well as any other top mount. but i also see these side winders, log style, and drag manifolds. what are the gains/losses when using these type of manifolds? should some of these styles be used only for track or street? which would you prefer? like i said i like the 2nd to last one and i also like all the top mount styles as well. ive also been looking into getting a top mount from obx since i dont have enough money to have a custom fabbed one made at secret services. what do y'all think??

i like the spa topmount mani, had it for a year now. Doesnt crack and never boost creeps. The only this is that you might have clearance issues. Ive had ssautochrome mani before, and they always seem to crack and break.

ssautochrome is XSPOWER = ebay son haha dont buy it

YARO.

don't waste your time

EVEN if i had to spend the money, would you reccomend the top mount series or another simple series BESIDES the log style?

slowboy90

dude get which ever you want because they way they bust and crack youll own the whole series as paper weights within a year or so.

better off buying a cast log manifold least it will hold up better than those shiny POS

YARO.

No gain all loss with that brand. Just go with a cast log like mentioned.

don't waste your time. go buy something that will last. just cause it looks cool doesn't mean it can perform well. what are your power goals and what turbo are you running? these are questions you need answers before buying a manifold. i'm surprised nobody has said that yet

sh!ft

no no no you are missing the picture! what STYLE not what BRAND do you like. im not buying anything from this website! i just used it as refferance to the styles out there that are avaliable!

Buying a turbo mani is not about style, unless your just putting it on for show. It all depends on your setup and power goals, not which one looks cooler.

Bond

What power goal? What motor? What turbo?

I personally went with a ramhorn style but it's matched well to my turbo, motor and power goal.

lsv turbo with possible 375-575 street driven/daily
EF chassis
im looking into getting some sleeving done as well to reassure the power

Bond

I'd suggest a nice ramhorn. topmounts in a ef chassis is a tight fit and is kinda overkill for your power goals

Take a look at this... "Which manifold is for ME?

This is why your question of "style" is being ridiculed a bit.
