Default Feedback request: Experience with the PLM "ramhorn" manifold

I'm in the market for a ramhorn turbo manifold that's ac/ps compatible. I've seen the PLM for sale. but I was curious if any of you guys have actually used it? or if there's any other manifolds there are ac/ps compatible that make decent power. And it's for a b series motor.

thanks for any input and information.

Spend a little extra and get either the Go-Autoworks ramhorn for the SpeedFactory.

Also, making "decent" power is in the combination of parts; not just the manifold.

Curious. What would the OP consider to be "decent" power?

I guess decent power is a vague statement, I know it's a combination of different parts that make power together. Has anybody actually use these manifolds that their recommending? Any pictures of them installed with ac and power steering on a B series. I've done some searching and I can't find anything. a lot of them are brands that don't exist anymore. Sorry I'm just trying to do a little bit research before dropping money on a manifold.

Have you considered something like the Inline Pro manifold?

I mean many of us have used these manifolds before, we just don't always have current pictures of them, and there are plenty too be found with a good Google search. You'd find most use a t04b compressor cover with a 5 bolt Ford Style housing, which may limit some turbo choice options. Your best bet is the inline pro manifold as stated, or the Go-Autoworks's exhaust manifold that allows the amenities you are asking about.

Thanks for your input, bump for anyone who's actually use these ac/ps manifolds on their cars, I would love to know their experiences with them..

Dont cheap out on this component. Constantly chasing cracks on an exhaust manifold sucks. Not saying PLM is necessarily built poorly, but as a general rule
