interesting style of topmount
 

I dont know if this has been posted it or not. I just ran into this interesting topmount on Craigslist. Thought I'd share it with y'all.

the manifold lookes like ----, but i have not seen one do a top mount like that. cool

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

yea its basically a log with the flange at the top

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

Never seen it executed but a top mounted log was on my list of possible designs for the upcoming build. Good stuff.

Seattle Craigslist? pretty sure that turbo setup was in our classifieds a little while ago....

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

Yep

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

Interesting design.

Probably doesn't flow much better than a regular log manifold though.

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

but has advantage of better oil return and maybe better downpipe sizing?

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

reminds me of the "square-fold" :1

Here is the for sale thread on h-t for that mani. http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread/1771745

By looking at it installed on the car it does not look anything like you would think lol.

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

yeah!! thats why I posted. The first time i saw it installed. it looked like a traditional topmount. Also said that its made by CRP???????????? I thought CRP did better quality welds then that?

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

that design sucks!!

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

Looks more like a wannabe top mount, if you get tricky w/the camera angles it'll look like you have the real thing when you post pics on the interweb :8

Re: interesting style of topmount
 

It makes welding easy. For someone who hasn't the skill to weld a merge collector (ie me) it allows you to run a large turbo with a simple downpipe design.

I don't see how this allows that much more room than a normal log.
