full-race kits go for like 5k+ for a stage 3.. where does it list the parts? Full-race manifold does look sick but its still not proven like the AMS.

I would go AMS to be on the safe side... thats why im saving my lunch money..

The full-race manifold might have not been proven yet on an EVO 8, but they have a proven track record outside of the EVO community and builds manifolds for some the fastest and quickest import drag cars like Paul Efantis's Solara which runs 7.2@180, Brian Ballard CRX 9.8@150 and Jason Hunt's Civic 9.6@154. Full-race also has life time warranty against cracking for their manifolds. If I every decide to get a manifold full-race's is the only one I'll be looking at.

I didn't buy a staged kit from Full-Race. I took more of an "a la carte" approach.

Here's the breakdown on what I've got invested:
Full-Race Manifold: $1199
Full Race 3" DP: $599
GT35R (.63 a/r): $1299
Tial 44mm WG: $385
Lower Charge Pipe: $200
WG Dump Tube: $110
Oil & Coolant Lines and fittings: $140
Suction Tube: $20 (raw materials)
Miscellaneous Nuts & Bolts: $20
Total: $3972

Check out AMS's group buy. You could save another $200.

Cant wait to see it on a dyno.

Full-Race should have made a 3.5" - 4" DP and exhaust.
