Has anyone tried to fit a Tomei Expreme manifold to a CA?

no it doesn't. an SR manifold doesn't bolt up to a CA without EXTENSIVE modification. So much custom building one would actually be easier. I like the way Tomei acts like they have discovered room temperature fusion or something. It's a short runner divided manifold, and????????

Expreme thermo bandage!!!1ONE! I dont even know what to say about that one. That little animation is hilarious too. I read the whole thing and they basically said the stock manifold is the best design and so they copied it and made it shiny and they are charging $660 for it. WEEEEAAAAAKKK.

yeah wrap your stailess manifold and see how long it goes before it cracks.

What do you guys recommend for a manifold? I just want something that gives good response and quality. I read ch187 is working on some products and im looking forward to it.

Try 6boost, can get em from horsepowerinabox.com (Australia). tubular steam pipe, else nissansilvia.com kemp/1STRE180 can make them too

all high quality but ~$1000AUD which would probably work out to $1000USD shipped, if your willing to pay for that level of quality/response.

keep the stock one. Effective and bulletproof.

yeah your right it isn't like there are a ton of turbos that make sick power with a T2 housing. Wait, yes there are. for an examplehttp://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...e=GRT

Is that the new ego thing? "my exhaust housing bolt pattern is bigger than yours".
