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.

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.
