log manis are ok, they wont perform as good as a tubular but can be just fine if low boost or budget boost is what youre looking for, theyre really easy to build in most cases

They work fine. I wouldn't use one if I were looking for max HP on a built motor, but if I just wanted to run 8-10psi and have fun with it I'd run one.

Log manifolds are fine for most applications. They are really good at harnessing the heat from the exhaust since it places the turbo close to the exhaust ports.

somewhere online, someone sells a "kit" for a log manifold. i saw it once, and I wish i wouldve bookmarked it, but i didnt.

anyone know who sells those kits.

its a kit, all the materials needed to make a log mani for like $120 or something like that. you just weld it together. I would like to try to make that.

I was actually thinking of going with this kit, for my turbo setup. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1029423

Mild steel, Log manifold, 2.5" 2pc downpipe, and dumptube.

For 400.00 shipped seems great. Heard it was a pretty good kit.

I only want to get about 270whp max for now on a totally stock b18b1, which I am going to run Uberdata.
