I already have the k24a2 and lean mounts in my possession, but there's one thing I cant decide. I know it would make sense to use the sheepey topmount(lean mounts specific) since that's the whole point of me using these mounts is to run a manifold that wouldn't work with the regular kswap mounts. But I don't want to count out the idea of the sidewinder(fullrace) altogether no one in my area seemed to have any real input as these lean mounts w/FI are still a rare thing over here. i'm not worried about the ex/wg they'll be out the hood no matter what.

Soo what's the question again? It sounds like you answered yourself in your own post. I would do what makes the most sense, unless you prefer to purchase something where the fitment is in question and may cause an issue? I am sure someone has done this before, but I am just thinking logically here...

 

Should I even consider the sidewinder or get the manifold meant to be used with these specialty mounts", yes it should clear cut but I have some lean mounts set ups running a sidewinder. I'm just not wanting to know if there's any con of the "lean manifold".

 

bump zero threads on here and one on K20A which was useless

 

bump. clearly someone's doing it,

 

bump?

 

Gonna have to be a pioneer

 

thats a custom manifold, downpipe by Dwight@Stage6

 

Thanks for the info, thought it was just a regular FR sidewinder with a huge fender exit. I'm really just curious to anyone running the regular sidewinder with the lean mounts?. I mean surly there's some major downside if no ones doing it?.
