what manifold to get

[admad]

Im looking to buy a stainless manifold i have been looking at the raceland on the big thread or a jsr mani or maybe the janspeed one is there much difference with these over the raceland other than having to mod the oil filter thanks

raceland will do the job

I still like the BTB ones the best ;)

[admad]

[jimbo06]

ive got a raceland, heat wrapped by myself, and it has done a spot on job so far, no complaints about it

You can get them from GMC. Not cheap but very good

[admad]

whats the advantages of heat wrapping them i seen its done quite a bit on here

[LeeM]

it keeps temps and pressure up within the tubes of the mani so they exit quicker. somethin like that.
and it keeps engine bay temps down

[admad]

cool ill do that aswell then cheers bud

[LeeM]

ive no experience of it but have read that stainless is more prone to crack when wrapped

[scholesyy]

wud stainless actually give better performace or is it just cos it dont rust and looks better?

[admad]

it does give a bit better performance , im no expert but something to do with the bends on a stainless it restricts the airflow less than a standard one

Have a look at piper aswell the build quality is just outstanding IMO. I've had mine on for a while now and its much better than my old janspeed a real improvment, I might have my piper 4-1 up for sale after trax if your interested?

Im pretty sure they are stainless arent they? I was always under the impression that its just a copy of the piper 4-1?
