personally i like the re-routing. it is harder to fabricate in most cases, but i guess it is just the environmentalist in me.

i didn't do all the fab work in these pics. the first set all i did was the dump tube. the second setup i just did the downpipe. both ram horns are well made, but neither is backpurged and the second one does not have any welding on the inside of the flanges where the runners meet the head and the collector meets the turbo flange. i would recommend adding that atleast if you build your own manifold. i don't think it is necassary to backpurge in most cases and obviously these two manifold fabricators feel the same. i do however back purge my downpipes since the material is thinner and in most cases you do get full penatration.

open dump tube:



why the manifold placed the wg over towards the driver's side i was told it was originally going in a civic and that was the only way the manifold builder could make it fit, but then they decided to put the setup in an integra and didn't want me to cut off the wg elbow for fear it would void the warranty on the manifold. :P

this setup i did just the downpipe but i had to modify the manifold from having a 38mm wg straight out front to having an elbow for the synapse wg because the owner was afraid it might hit the upper rad support. obviously he wasn't concerned about a manifold warranty, or maybe it doesn't come with one. it would probably have been easier to run the dump tube straight out the front, but i decided to run the dump tube behind the downpipe to save space out front and to help keep a clean looking setup.

nice

if I didn't already have a ramhorn manifold, you would be getting an email from me about my setup. damn those are nice! I had to modify my radiator to clear my wastegate by chopping off 1" off each side and have it rewelded, those setups looks like they are perfect for my car.

nice and sexy.

First set up is mine . I wasnt interested in re-routing it since the car the set up is going on only gets driven about 2000-4000km at the most every year. And if you are wondering why I wanted it the dump tube so far away its right here http://forums.evans-tuning.com/viewtopic.php?t=2874

BTW if anyone needs work done Aaron is a great guy to deal with. He is very polite, easy to get along with and helpful. An all around nice guy. I would deffinalty recommend him if you ever need any sort of work done and at a very reasonable price. Thanks again!

don't lie matt, you know that car is going to get raped for more than 10k a year with two people driving it and racing it! :P

Gino

I hope to God it will! Im just going on how much it was driven last year. If all goes well it should get the **** driven out of it .

haha
2nd one is mine
im a fan of the re-route, for a few reasons
Ill also vouch for Aaron any day
Gino hit me up with a PM, just wondering more about your setup

gon3r

i think it would be an interesting race between these two setups. i'm sure you guys will probably run into each other at a cscs event.

Brian, are you going to bring that new setup of yours down to the Maritimes this summer for a race event?
