I'm very sure that to have a true equal length the A/C will have to be remove.
The IM that looks like equal length is actualy uneven on one side.
Not to knock them down they work fine.

My decision on keeping the log style manifold besides the A/C dilema was that also helps with faster spool time
I belive there is a thead that argues the pros and cons of both.

My problem getting more HP and Torque lays on tunning and fuel system.
I'll be working on it throught out the year.

I'll have to save more money and do more reseach.

Now that I have a good engine/turbo base to work out off.

THAT is the truth. Tuning is kind of out of your hands. Fuel is kinda an easy fix too...........Just a little expensive.

Finally the voice of reason.
I'm no expert but I do reseach and ask a lot of questions then I'll make and educated decision

This is my equal length mani custom made stainless steel,
A/C removal requiered






So since I want to keep A/C and I'm building a street car I'll just keep my custom stainless log that still much good for a T-3/4 hybrid for the street and with the proper tunning and fuel syatem can do just as well

Not a bad EL mani.............welds are ok. You'll probably get some real nice top end out of that because of those large diameter runners.

The guys at Speed Lab do very good work.
I'll keep this mani for awhile.
May be I'll use it later when I get the ECU
I radder use this true EL than any other if I had a choice.

I didn't pay for the mani individualy I bought it with the rest of my kit.
Is not cheap, cause is not cheaply made.
You'll get what you pay for.

As have I. However, If he paid alot for it, it should have a merge collector and not that. So, if it was cheaper, than its pretty decent for the money.
