Re: possible SSautoshit?? help
do yourself a favor and buy a cast manifold instead of tubular, it may not be as pretty, but even a cheap cast manifold like the one i bought on ebay for $225 for my b16, will never break, any tubular manifold you buy on ebay or for cheap from anywhere is gonna crack and break, cast is the way to go....

cast might crack, but not as easily as tubular, especially those cheap *** tubular manis on ebay, and there are high hp hondas with cast manifolds, cast may not flow like tubular, but for a modest street car cast is the way to go, its 100x stronger than tubular...

Re: possible SSautoshit?? help
do you guys really believe that you have to have a tubular mani to make big hp numbers? bull ----......you could make 500 whp on a port matched cast mani, bottom line is cast will last longer and is much more durable than any of those junky *** tubulars on e-gay, if your gonna use a tubular you better fab a quality one on your own, or pony up the dough for a $600 manifold, otherwise your wasting your money, if you cant fab one, and cant afford an expensive one, then buy CAST......
