Speedracer32 is an unknown quantity at this point
for 300 bucks yes but for 850 ..NO!!
i hope the one in the picture isn't the one they are sending you cause the flange doesn't even match. ( people should post the actual product ..I HaTE that ****)
iI've only spent like 11-1200 on my custom kit alone. Keep shopping around.
There's no rush

As much as people talk about the OBX mani 75 percent still buy them.
Why? because for the price they are unbeatable when all you have to do is just add some support brackets. It's not that difficult. Im sure a local shop would do it for like 25 bucks.

^^from what ive read that manifold is good, except for the fact that the wastegate flange will only recieve pressure from the first two runners. So i guess in some cases the wastegate would not vent enough air too control boost when you're at a high level. For low boost applications i guess it would be alright. Supposedly its louder also. This is what i understand, so if im wrong someone correct me!!

Edit: what do you guys think of this manifold? I might place a bid, and get my custom set-up on the go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

Well Im not looking for high boost. The one you listed there looks like the HKS manifold. There's 2 so I may bid on one too.

^hey dont take my word 100% on anything! Im still reading the noobs guide to boost! The one i posted is made by Boost motorsports. Very similar to the hks, but the flange is tilted a bit. Looks pretty good, nothing too complex.
Anyone used that mani?
