Are you planning on tucking the fuse box or running a turbo blanket? I can tell you it's not too bad to tuck the fuse box and extend the other stuff...took me about 3 days to move everything and cut and solder everything...Only hard part is where you mount the battery...LMK if you need some help in which wires to extend....ect....good luck!

Ya the S has 49/51 weight but the turbo parts are on the heavy side. Just the mani and snail is like 60 pounds.

Just curious, What made you go with the PFab mani? Im in the market for a new manifold and I see that alot of the s2k guys are rocking PFab now. I mean, are there alot of reviews for this item? Have you used it before? Thanks and good luck!

i can make enough power with this manifold compared to others. its a tubular log manifold not cast. im piecing this kit together, and turns out he makes the downpipe and ic piping as well. you can check out his work (pang) at pfabrications.com he has a photobucket with twin scroll mani's for the s2k as well, not just log.

ive seen quite a few people lay down over 500 with this manifold, one in particular was on the cover of modified mag, made 616 i think. no i have not used it before.

i was going with the lovefab gt1 mani, although discontiuned cody would make it for me with no warranty and he would not make a downpipe for me. another reason i just went with the pfab.

Thanks for the info tech!

I was going to go with the Full Race mani but seeing as how I can order a 3" SS DP along with this while being affordable and can hold up to 500hp- I have to consider this!

How much do used full race mani's go for?


If any of you CA heads need a Greddy badge...You know who to hit up!
Why did Cody discontinue his GT1 manis?

ive never seen a used full-race mani

and he did because the manifold cracked because the way the turbo sat on the flange caused the welds or runners to crack because of the weight. even with a bracing system i think some people still had issues.

If you had the funds (not that I do yet), which would you pick? The LoveFab GT2 or Full Race Kit?

I would piece everything too like I did for my GSR's turbo set up, but I'd rather know everything will work and fit perfectly.

both are good. i would personally go with the gt2 mani.. yet running this mani i think you need to relocate oil filter and etc.
