I've been out of the game for alittle bit but,
1. This WILL crack
2. ti weighs 345763478 lbs. Unless the engine is solid mounted to the frame and the manifold has some uber-supports, the manifold gasket won't last 5 minutes.
3. Most modern turbos prefer pulses of air over a constant flow. A simpler smaller large bore "log" manifold would likely perform better. Or a simpler version that would join two cylinders in one runner.
4. Every time there is a bend in the exhaust stream, there is a certain percentage of energy lost. That's a lot of bends in that thing.
Does anyone have a back story on this thing? Is it for some high-end drag car or something? If it is then the collector looks like s*** and they should find a better fabricator.
