Gnari Manifold

[robertsmith]

There was one previous post about the gnari manifold but I am a bit curious.  So I originally bought the cheap ebay centre-mount tubular manifold (due to stinger not making their centre-mounts no longer) but i instantly had the wastegate tube break from the collector within 100km and bought a gnari manifold out of being annoyed.  I made "okay" hp on the setup, but this winter the motor/setup is getting an overhaul in sight of making bigger hp, would it be worth it to build a manifold from scratch but using the centre-mount as a template or would there be minimal hp difference?

A proper tube header will always make more peak power than a log style manifold. A log may make more torque on some setups. How much more peak power depends on how much power you plan to make as obviously it becomes a larger restriction the higher the power goes.
