manifold length question
 
I am wanting to fab my own top mount manifold an i was wondering if anyone could give me info on distance of exhaust runners?Meaning is there a length that you dont want to exceed ?Is shorter better or longer?

I think shorter runners is the way to go. I mean unless you're doing some full blown out drag racing, no need for long runners.

no it's a d/d just want to keep a/c

you dont need a top mount to keep a/c

I know an correct me if i am wrong but top mounts perform better an they just look nasty as hell.I also like the ramhorn style but the top mount seems to me like your turbo is easier to get to an maintence.

Get or make a log top mount, those stainless ramshorns are prone to cracking, how good do you think you'd look then. lol

+1 log manifold are the way to go. ramhorn such as obx manifolds are def prone to cracking. log manifolds = bulletproof for the most part.

can you reach 5 to 600 hp with a log?

well the type of car an type of motor your talking about will limit that. what 600hp d/d do you want. def not a honda. maybe an s2000 but thats still a bit much for a dd.

What motor did i mention or did you do some jedi mind trick an read my mind ? an you can pull 500 hp out a 2.0 b-series just as well as a s2k motor thanks for your opinion anyways.---15lbs on 93 oct. d/d----25+lbs on track with a secondary fuel system either c16 or e/85 haven't talk to the turner about that yet?I don't plan on driving around all day like that an i only drive maybe 5000 miles a year at the most.
