What do you guys think about this manifold design. I saw it on ebay. It's looks simple and i could make it myself (i cut the pipes and flange and my friend will weld it for me). Is the design good or a waste of time? Thanks

 

this style is cheap, easy, and fairly effective, unless you're going full race, then it'll do!!!

 

The flow on that manifold is not going to be good, at all!! Cylinders 2 & 3 fire directly into a wall. Most log type manifolds like this locate the turbo flange directly onto the log. This one runs another pipe to the turbo. I wouldn't put it on my car....

 

if ur already cutting the pipes, then buy more material and make a tubular one. it will take more time and $, but its worth it. why not do it right the first time?

 

Did I say that? I said I would never put THAT manifold on my car. That is a much worse design than your typical log manifold.

 

this is not true at all - i have seen quite a few log mani's that dont fire into the walls...

not a very good design...

 

Definetly. Look at a Revhard, Max-Rev, Drag, etc. They are all designed with maintaing good flow in mind, so their runner merge gracefully with the Turbo, rather then having to make a full 90 degree turn into a seperate pipe on this manifold. If I were you, I'd look in to making a manifold similar to those used by Jon at thedropshop

 

I would love to see the flow bench #s of this manifold... wait, actually i would not

 

What do you guys think about these....
the guy says there tig welded....








I just dont like that ugly wastegate tube how it turns like that...
