woah! Open polls are dangerous! Your going to get answers such as "smoke weed everyday" and etc. But geoff's manifold is pretty good.

thanks for the props guys. Here is a manifold i finished for a customer recently.



here is a pic of the manifold on my car



and here is a pic of a setup that should do about 650 at the wheels




finally my favorite pic of the collector.



if you have any other questions email me at geoff@full-race.com or just PM on here. Thanks again for the compliments guys!!

BTW if you want to keep a/c virens manifold will flow much better numbers than any log or cast style manifold.

I am in love with all those tubular spider manifolds. Want them all, too bad we have only 4 bangers.

I think we get horny on those tubular designs, cause we like long legged womans too.

Hey Geoff, is there any need for bracing at all since the material you use is so thick? Tubular manifolds made with the thinner stuff usually crack over time if they aren't braced, right?

Ok, so I just wanted to clarify things.. The VS racing/TRR manifold IS a/c compatible? I remember a post a while back that said it'd be a bitch to make a downpipe clear the compressor, and that person thought it wasn't a/c compatible.

On another note.. what's the price on your manifold and dp viren? I'm definetly interested, let me know.

Damn Geoff, I've seen ALOT of manifolds for hondas and I have to say yours looks like one of the best i've seen. It seems that not many people take the time to do anything right anymore. It's good to see someone that does
By the way, what do you retail those for?

Wow thats quite a compliment coming from jotech! Thanks very much. I actually started making the manifolds simply becuase i didnt see any manifolds on the market that iw ould actaully want, so i decided to make what was in my mind the perfect race oriented manifold with no compromises.

retail on them is 1050. if you have any other ?s just email me or PM me, thanks again tho tony!
