Maybe I've been reading too much Corkey Bell, but why don't any of the manifolds I see ever have a split between the two pipes on the engine side flange for thermal expansion?

Yes, eventually. But, I'm getting tuned next month so I'm pretty limited on time.

Do you mean like this? (scroll down). And that's a very nice manifold, Viking. Best of luck on your car.

Well, mine isn't your traditional 13B manifold so the price will be a little different. Whatever the price was, the quality was well worth it

Yeah, I miss it. My wife misses it to. She doesn't like the 1st gen so much. She keeps telling me to buy a 3rd gen roller and swap everything over to it

I dunno.

So what happen to your DIY one you had with the flex tube and clamps? Decided to go more traditional?

Glad your happy Eric, it's nothing fancy as far as what the specs are 2" schedule 10 316L tubing. I just basically copied your manifold though I changed the WG runners length to be equal. Let me know how it works for you, and of course I will warranty it as long as you own it. Thanks to everyone else for the compliments and for those interested in it's price prices range from $895-1400 depending on the amount of work and materials involved.
