Their MR-2 3G prostreet manifold yielded more tourqe, a wider power band and spooled 800rpm quicker than other manifolds had on their 800whp MR-2 Turbo. Their KA manifold should be very good and do wonders for our cars.

They've been making the SR manifold for a long time, and the KA manifold was always in the works as well.

Maybe. But if you want THE BEST.. you need to pay THE MOST.Full race manifolds have 1/8" thick runners. The only other manifold you'll see that on is the PhatKA-T manifold. Full Race are also equal length, and Scott (Enthalpy) did a SR test.. gained 60hp and 40ft/lbs by ONLY switching manifolds from JGY Customs log manifold to a Full Race tubular.SSA, Boost Designs - They both use very thin (16ga) tubing. I'm bracing my BD manifold, ceramic coating it, and putting a flex section in the downpipe. -Jeff

A flex section is a must for anyone in my opinion. You don't want exhaust vibrations to affect your engine/manifolds or vice versa. A lot of people dismiss them and end up breaking something. The flex sections are cheap, durable, and can be gotten in SS. I don't see a good reason NOT to use them if you are making your own exhaust.

Nice header but it is NOT equal length... I dont think there is room to make a top mount equal length.

Just count the bends and take a good look at the amount extra tube in the middle runners I see 1.5"ish more + a 30deg or so bend.

But it is still a super nice header.

If you'd like to get technical (1" = not equal length. And you're right. But it's as equal length as a topmount gets).. it's not a header.-Jeff
