Well we have been tossing around some ideas for a new tubular manifold, and if all goes well and we can keep the fab time down to a minimum, we will offer this unit, but anyways, here is the simple design we have been toying with.

Considered it, but I doubt that this market will need it considering both of the 2 highest D17 recorded use our manifold or a derivative of it. We want to stick with what works.

I gotta hand it to ya, you guys are always putting your best efforts into the d17 motor, and I think that's wonderful. It gives us all the ability to dream up a street machine of our own!

top mount would be pimp, but it would not be feesable and may not work in the space that we are limited to. still if u ever made one for the D, i might make a purchase!

Re: EL mani comin back? MAYBE so...

Yes, this may become a minimal price upgrade or a standard item based upon evolution of some ideas we have been toying with. We are playing with the cast idea, some new material design of the welded version, and the EL version. All depending on how some of these pan out, will be how all of it is done for future kits.

This is really exciting.....I think I would choose an equal length manifold over the cast one....I guess it's just the way it looks, I like it.

Re: EL mani comin back? MAYBE so...

Its more than just looks, its the flow capability. I love my manifold. I almost wish you wouldn't keep making it so I have a "one of a kind" lol. Definitely an asset if you're trying to make max power.
