Way too expensive to be posted on HMT, lol.

Maybe not, but still, thats ------- expensive...for that price you could buy a TIG, all the parts needed to build it, and still possibly have some change left over.

The left one is an upside down ramhorn, the right one is a little different.

How cool would I be if I cut a hole in my hood to clear my turbo?

I dunno, the oil drain looks like it would be a **** to keep away from those runners. Does it perform? Any gains over the conventional design?

I pm'd bmc race about a month ago about getting a manifold they said they have a new design out...
i wonder if they follow the same design?
We've kick around several designs, and actually considered one similar to these with the intent of exposing the turbo through the hood or under a scoop to over the hood airflow...strictly for race. I may yet build one for the race car. I'll have to let James debut his new manifold. He has been pushing me hard to help out and we finally have the proto close. I'm sure he will have something to say tomorrow.

sam, why not make something everyone can use.

just a question(not tryin to sound like an ***) but is there really a market for people who want a all out race manifold?

I would just like a ram-horn or equal length for a D series. -i cant find them anywhere --something other than ssautoshit or obx, and i would pay some nice money for a nice manifold.

seems there would be a nice market there...
