Shocker - that is a bada$$ intake manifold. I remembered seeing pics of that a while back. Is it finally reinstalled after your rebuild or what? Very nice piece.
Another intake manifold that a lot of the Aussies like for the 500-700 hp range is the Plazmaman because it retains the longer lower stock runners for low end torque. Both use velocity stacks which are huge in this case!
As far as exhaust manifold goes, you aren't going to find a better piece for the money than the 6boost. Full-race and Lovefab make nice stainless manifolds, but they are twice the price and are areguably better flowing. I honestly belive Kyle from 6boost about his comparisons with his tuned manifolds vs. full-race's and lovefab's about the equal length runners not making $hit for difference for the power levels that 99.9% of us are running. I'll take the extra $1300 I saved and buy a wastegate, BOV, intercooler, and have the manifold ceramic coated.
Frankly, if you are running only a 3076R, I would stick with the stock manifold. It flows plenty for that power level and the downpipe plumbing is eaaasy. e-mail cdorhout for his impressions. He's been running that setup for a year and loves its simplicity. If you decide on a 6boost manifold, the 3076 should be externally gated, or the manifold will cause boost creep with the internal gate.
