Anybody runnin it? Care to comment on EGT drop (I really dont need it) or quicker spooling (does it really help spooling)? Does it effect anything being a one piece instead of 2 or 3? I understand why the multiple piece design is a good idea but does it change performance at all?

 

Nobody?...............

 

John at Floor It is doing some testing right now on a 1 piece stainless tubular manifold and has seen some good results with egts and spool. Not sure if they are actually for sale yet or not, but if not, they are close. It's a great looking piece too.

 

What a dork im building one now. That John is a real Kill-joy. I knew I wasnt gonna be number one after I saw the Hellmans one but cant I ever be #2? Thats all I want. Youll Rue the day John, idea stealin, cp3 masterin, head floor it phone answerer dude.

 

I was always curious what your truck made tristan21 on the dyno. you got me on the tq by a little bit, was that with the stage 3 pump or a stage2?

 

John shared a pic with me on his new header... it looks really nice!

 

Stg 2. I know theres more in it I just need some dyno time to tune.

 

There was a thread with some pics of his new exhaust manifold but it got deleted. What happened there?

 

This might be a dumb question and a little off topic. But you don't need a multiple piece exhaust manifold to run a big single or twins do you?

The reason I ask is becuase I see alot of twin kits offered w/ a 3 piece exhaust manifold. Does that just reduce the chance of it cracking/splitting?

 

Thats the reason for runnin a 2 or 3 piece. You got it.




Hey Tristan, if you need somebody to test out your maninfold(s) for ya gime a ring

 

Actually the reason for the 3 piece with the twins is just the configuration. It is a 2gen manifold that was originally designed for flow and heat dissipation and resisting cracks. It gets used on 3rd gen twin set ups because when you flip it upside down and install it, it puts the top turbo in a pretty good spot to work from. A single piece and/or different design could certainly be used, but these manifolds are already mass produced and therefore are much easier to use than a one off.

 

Let me break stuff on my truck first Will and then we'll see.

 

I know these manifolds reach extreme temps but I would be hard pressed to beleive that a one peice stainless manifold that all welds are penetrated (tig)and purge welded with 1/2" or 5/8" flanges that are machined ant true would be as brittle as the cast units that are sold. I guess we'll see.

 

how much is that Hellmann manifold??

 

That is between the Mods and Floor it...
