So if you spec an engine over this then the engine is flawed and as the geezer above says you spend all this cash on a big power motor and leave a stock manifold on

My own car would need 2.5bar boost from my GT35 to reach 570-580bhp ...put the tubular manifold on and your now seeing less boost to acheive that bhp and less strain....personally i wont run above 2bar so i am not over the safe threshold of the manifold.
