What would you say is a better choice? This manifold is unequal and costs about $400. the log can be done by modifying the stock one i currently have or buying a completely brand new one already modified for $250. This is for a t3/t4 turbo with a max of 13-15psi being spooled and going into a 4x4 toyota tacoma 2.7 4 cyl (used for sand drags and daily driving)

im on a budget (we all are, right?) - im thinking the log style is my choice, but id love to have some feedback

here is a sample of the unequal manifold im speaking of:

 

that thing is hideous

 

Sand drags are sick. Id probably go with a tubular piece. You want straight air flow going into the turbo, not like the airflow in a log manifold. Well actually of course either would work but you know...

 

if price wasnt a concern id prefer to go with a 'real' manifold and of equal length. there arent really any companys that make them for the tacoma/4runner (3rz) and the ones that do want about $600-700 - I suppose thats about normal but im a cheap bastard and want to cut the corners i can, ya know? i figure since my goals are not much over 200 rwhp that a log manifold should be fine?

 

who makes it and how reliable is it? 400 is a lot for an unknown generic piece. tubular is more fragile than logstyle and must be made with better materials and welds. stick with a log unless you know otherwise about this manifold.

 

LOL

Yeah, I'm kinda against this one too, but I'm not exactly digging the log style either (personal choice).

What are your options for a weld-el style one either made by you or someone local with experience?

I know you have about 5 other threads kicking currently on the same topic so if you've already answered this one, sorry to make you repeat yourself

 

Damn I used to know of a website with all kinds of toy ----. But I can't find it now.
