Turbo header questions

[JASON ROSARIO]

Ok I've looked around a bit and was trying to get some info on tubular manifolds. I was wondering if the size of the runners made a difference in spool up characteristics and how it would affect power ranges and so on. If you had short exhaust runners would it spool the turbo quicker but not have as much top end or vice versa. I just wanted to know if they were even worth it. I mean I've seen plenty of cars with just a ported 95 and it was fine but I wanted to know what differences it made in performance.

They are not worth it IMHO... Although the DNP stainless one is damn sexy! It depends what you want out of the car... there are numerous people running low 11's and faster on 2g & Evo III manifolds. Why spend $500-$600 on a manifold when you can go just as fast using a manifold that costs $150-$180?? Just my .02.

Not worth it.
