Re: top mount manifold
I would like to clarify that my post was just in reguards to people who don't actually know what they are talking about. This manifold actually has other braces that traingulate the tubo manifold to the engine block and header flange. I have a BA in Mechanical Engineering, so I do know exactly what sheer strengths, yeild strengths, Modulous of elasticity, etc. Most of the manifolds I have seen on this website are nice. I just don't like people who dont know what the hell they are talking about and telling others how to do things they can't.

Even Corky thinks it's a waste of a top mount.
