Looks nice, but I'm out of money!

Hey, how close is St. Paul, MN to LaCrosse, WI? I may be spending the summer up there with my friend...and it seems there are a few people from that area with turbo hondas that post on H-Tech. Would be nice to meet you guys.

St. Paul is about 2 hours away from Lacrosse....I got a couple buddies that has family in Lacrosse....there are a few turbo hondas here in St. paul, but a lot of them don't like talking to other people

I'd be happy to show you around when you're up here

How will you have to bracket it up, so the manifold does not crack? Does it come with some kind of support brace? Thanks

a/c can still be kept with this manifold

So it includes everything needed to brace the turbo and manifold? If not, what would you have to do to brace it properly? When it is braced properly, would there be any problem in the manifold cracking? Is there a huge jump in performace when using a equal legnth manifold?

yeah, everything you need to brace it comes with it. That's what Dameon told(owner of turbo performance). There should be no problems with cracking when properly braced. Equal length manifolds will noticably increase your torque, but I'm pretty sure power will only be seen up top

they are made of mild steel....

Oh, do you know much about the DP's? What are they made out of? Are they full 3"? Do they have a flex pipe on them?

I'm ordering one for my setup yes. That's why I'm doing this group buy, I'm trying to help others and save money at the same time...I don't have one yet, but have you seen the forwardmotion neon? That manifold is built by turbo performance.

they are mild steel...i'll find out the exact specs on the specs on the metal tommorow

Cool manifold at a very good price. The collector is a standard stamped clover style (saves money, mimicks a merge) looks to be MIG welded (saves money, albeit at the risk of looking like a trailer hitch) bends are very well done, all in all cool for the price.

the only thing you would want to check out is how long its gonna last. Get a matieral thickness, i think that will be the deciding factor. The truth is simply that tubular manifolds will crack. Brace it as much as you want, it will crack. Anyone who has had one of the older JG style, any kooks (i know one guy who claims to have never cracked his, then said oh, look there are 3), kiwi, etc they all crack, braced or not. I have yet to hear of a hytech that has cracked, but as any experienced manifold fab guy will tell you, everything, over time cracks. Look at all the OEM stuff. That, too will crack.

The inline pro is pretty cool becuase its cast stainless (not the mud casting of DRAG). Also, the revhard weldel manifold is cool becuase its thick steel. Then i think the maxrev manifold is cool. I wish inline pro would have thought of a cooler design, however. Castings allow you to be truly creative with runners and collectors, and they really did nothing but copy the old turbonetics style manifold. It will work, no doubt, and it should also last for quite some time, but it could have been cooler.

A lot of people are actually using this manifold and calling it their own. (RPM NYC, PFNYC, 3 other shops i wont mention)

i havent posted in a while, so i figured id make it long. I had a lot to say. im not here to push manifolds... im just posting.

Does the nickle polishing do anything performance wise?

I have a '94 GSR... so you're saying that I can keep my factory AC, but will I have to move my fan to the front?

How much would shipping be to San Francisco, Ca. 94122?

How much $$$ for a manifold/downpipe combo? What options are available with the downpipes (flex, closed loop, 4/5bolt, etc.)?

Thanks
