Tubular or Cast?
What would be the beneficial manifold for a T3/T04B . i heard the cast is better for heat retention obviously. Will a tubular flow better since it maybe tuned better? Its for 00' gsr . 3" open down pipe
for street use or race in that matter get the cast one..!! Kenny tran from JOTECH ran 9.68 with a RevHard cast manifold..WTF..?? ask tony1 ..this was in world import finals 99 at pomona raceway.RevHard is having a sale for $350 or so ..!! 818-764-4312 they also have spearco intercooler or intercooler and piping kit for sale too..
def.cast will spool faster as well as a tubular log type mani will spool faster. but watch your hp fall of at the top.
going tubular/equall length/ramhorn. a little longer spool up time because of the area you have to fill up but top end is just awesome coz of the flow.
imho.
for street= cast manifold- def. stronger,faster spool ups, less heat, easier to fit with factory a/c and p/s
for high hp app.= tubular eq. length- higher top end hp, better flow, looks
( but a pain to install w/ a/c and p/s)

at first i didn't notice this thread is old until i read daveG's post. and then i said...wtf who brought this back, there's no post before his. lol i see it now.
but looks like whoever first started it has made some improvements. i didn't understand why that person had that sig and asked this question to start with. lol

my sig is referring to a different thread it was like a month ago, it started like this one but ended with a survivor vote off and this kid jdmjoe said some funny *** ****, i was looking for it when i found this thread, but **** this one sucks .
Through my own experience i have found that tubular is that way to go period. Im not saying that cast dont work well, but they have many downfalls. First is cracking, all cast manifolds, sooner or later, will crack. A crack in a cast manifold cannot almost never be fixed probably. If a turbular manifold cracks, you can simply re-weld it. Tubular manifolds also make way more power.
