Are you looking at just those three manifolds? If not, you should look at the toxicfab mani.

Hey Ben thx for looking out, trying to stay stock looking with the heat shield. definitely a nice piece of work for sure! but pricey in comparison to the (3) others, especially the performance per dollar value and I cant see dropping 8 bills

Find one that doesnt have the antilag ports, they like to crack there unless maybe you had a flex pipe in your downpipe.

Stay stock looking why cuz you live in Cali? I live in Cali too, these fix it's and ref tickets are a joke I've gotten out of two by using a TBD. IMO run what will make you the most power even if it cost twice as much as the cheaper manifolds, every little bit counts and that's the mentality that breaks records

But if your talking about performance per dollar switching out that MAF for a SD setup will net you more power then those cheapy mani's you listed.


By the way I let the cop pop my hood and im very polite he gives me the ticket and lets me get on with my daily activities, but in my written trial dy declaration to the court I include this :

U.S. Constitution, 4th Amendment -
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Case gets thrown out everytime.
