Default B-series header as a turbo mani?
I know it's not done, so there must be a reason. I see the HF manis's used, and I saw one guy on g2ic who had a godawful setup with a Bseries header on his 92 Teg.

So I want to know, what exactly makes htis a shitty idea? Are they not designed to hold the wieght? Do they hang too low? I am simply curious.

Wtf, I was just sitting on my nuts thinking how I can save some dough, and somehow the fact that B's have 4-2-1's never came to me.

I thought you meant an aftermarket B series header... anyways the collector is too low.
