These are in no particular order of "worst to best", so don't read this too deep.The rest is on you to figure out what's best for your needs. They all use similar materials. Start making e-mails, phone calls, and investigating the site for your choices.
And no, I will not support BWR manifolds.. To me, they're as bad as the OBX.

Good luck.. Spoon has been fed.

Blackworks racing makes one but I've yet to see a review


And why a ramhorn? What are your power goals, etc? The longer runners cause more lag vs shorter runner designs that make just as much power and have a better powerband

 

Don't forget RLD-Fab! The link is in my signature. Decisions decisions.

You can also check this shop.I bought a secondd hand top mount made by them.Quality is awesome.

 

Again, I was really only helping with the Major known players. I wasn't intentionally leaving out anyone of quality. This was just a quick spoon-fed reference of the main ones with the most feedback. that was all.

 

I completely understand sir. I just wanted to throw RLD-Fab in there because he is sponsoring me with a turbo manifold which should be shipping out Monday I might add. By the way, I should be contacting you soon Mac.

 

well right now i have built ls making 340whp looking to make 400whp down the road. i just love how the ram horns look. another question i have does anyone know abouts what max hp you can run on a ls motor with out sleeves? i have a block gaurd and girdle with forged pistons and rods.

 

Sounds good. Please let me know what's happenin'..

im running a neukin ram. i know other guys with same and had no issues

 

I'm running a synapse ramhorn

 

ditto

 

Don't forget BRMS(Blue Ridge Motor Sports)...

 

Stock sleeves will take 500-600 with the right tune and fuel. They don't like anything above that really.

 

Thank you man I've been trying to get a number range and 500-600 is deff more then I need so I feel safer. I've been looking at the neukin manifolds as well. Good to hear someone else is running it. How long have you had it in your car?

 

Good luck getting a manifold from neukin in any reasonable time span. Unless it's already built you'll vr waiting a long time. he's had issues getting products out at all. If you're dead set on his manifold try looking for a used one in the marketplace

 

be aware that when you change the manifold, you will likely need to refit the downpipe, dumptube, and hotside intercooler piping. each manifold situates the turbo slightly differently. maybe not enough to be a problem but its something to consider before buying a new mani

 

Also just because it looks cool doesn't mean it works better
.longer runners equals more surface area, which means cooler exhaust gases inside the manifold, which in turn means more lag and very narrow powerband. Now things like he wrapping and ceramic coating will help greatly. But this your build with your goals really require a ram horn?

what are your power goals? As I've seen people make 600 horsepower with a simple log manifold, that had very quick spool in a very broad powerband. Now when they swapped over to a longer runner manifold they saw the power increase but also noticed an increase in turbo lag, where it really wasn't needed.

so tell us your goals but I can honestly tell you that a short runner mini RAM or even a cast manifold like an inline pro would be a better alternative that can support the same amount of power while providing a broader power band and more torque
