Default top mount turbo mani

what companies offer decent top mount manifolds, and they dont run 600 and up? maybe around 200 or 300? is it a long shot.

NO, just curious about the competition price range, sales or even used top mounts. advantages and disadvantages. just some basic info on them would be cool too.

you will not find a decent manifiold, muchless a top mount, for 2-300$. Only thing in your price range is going to be ssauto, and obx.

i ran a topmount on my last setup and i really wouldnt recommend getting one UNLESS you're shooting for big power. I'm in the low 300whp range and when i switched from the topmount to an SLS shorty, i picked up 50whp and 50wtq in the midrange.....just something to think about

Decent log manifolds go for that price, and you want a top mount ? It cost more then that to make one a top mount.

Why exactly do you have to have a top mount? Your not going to find anything decent for under 650$ or so.

like i already said, unless you're shooting for big power, dont go w/ a topmount. They lag so much more than a shorter manifold....i love the midrange with my new setup. The topmount fell out of boost between shifts whereas my new manifold keeps the turbo spooled all the time...

The only manifold you'll find like this is hill billy bob with a flux machine welding out of his shack for this price.
