Heck yeah. I like to show what little I got. :mrgreen:

From what I've been told, the original 4-2-1 manifold is quite a good setup and doesn't need to be upgraded unless you're doing a lot of performance mods to the engine.

the stock cast iron manifold doesn't need to be upgraded? :lol: Ho ho, you need to drive a stock Spider with one of my systems on it

they're probably better than a stock manifold, but the collector design and size isn't very good. Getting the slip joints sealed is important. The race car I bought has a set like that on it, and they leak everywhere

Have you had the chance to do any dyno runs yet to compare?

Denise Maria,

those horns kills the air flow more than the hood clearance. I cringe every time I see this.
