I just noticed its a Rev Hard manifold, thats a cast log. Stay away from log, get a equal length manifold.

are they hard to sell? and when referring to "equal length," what exactly is equal length?

Equal length has the same length on each of the runners. They have the least back pressure and spools the fastest.

A log manifold is made from short pieces of pipe and has different lengths for each runner and spools faster then a cast but creates more back presure then a ELT.

A cast manifold is the least efficient of the 3. It is made from a casting which is the cheapest of metal manufacturing processes. These manifolds are the most likely to crack do to their cheap manfufacturing and the highest temps inside them.

That's incorrect scott. A stainless steel manifold will crack easier and faster than a cast iron manifold

Yea I was about to say they use cast iron parts for car parts already. Its heat treated so it has a high tolerance. plus that ish dont rust!

Damn it, I was close. I guess the cast manifolds I've seen crack have been cheaper ones.. O well.

I think its more so because most manifolds are cast therefore you see a higher failure rate.
