Less chance of creep with #2.

because that cast manifold only draws exhaust pulses from one runner. hotrex had a drag mani like that on is car and it crept hardcore, my vote is number 2 mani

Because the 1st manifold looks to only exhaust from one port for the wastegate where are the 2nd uses a location accessable to all the ports. Kind of like why Drag manifolds creep.

Both wastegate designs are sub-par. And depending on how the inside of that cast manifold looks it might make more power than that log

who cars how much better the cast mani will flow, with a wastegate port like that, itll creep like a ----------er and all benefits will be negated.

Was it mentioned that hotrex is sponsored by SSAC for wastegates? I'd buy number one because it's not a pile of ---- log manifold. If I wanted a pile of ---- log manifold I'd buy all the pieces for less than half the cost and weld it myself.
