Not really. It's only $2000 more than there standard kit and about the same price as the full-race setup or lovefab setup.
When compared to the two.
It has the added benfits of being T4 flanged, you can run larger turbos on it for more power.
It has a bracing system to help prevent cracking.
It has a larger intercooler and intercooler piping that has been polished.

Basically big power doesn't come cheap, especially if you want a top quality product from a reiliable company like InlinePro.

I am sure anyone who see's this kit in person will appreciate the thought and craftmanship behind it and understand why it's worth the price of admission.

 

I didn't even look at the full price of the kit, just the individual prices.

Full-race manifolds are of far greater quality yet are less expensive. Of course this manifold probably uses 100$ more worth of steal but still... My question about the material was left unanswered.

I would not say t4 is an "added benefit".. Any manufacture can toss on a t4 flange on instead of a t3... It's not like it's divided.

Help prevent cracking is key here... That's why I asked about the warranty and got no response. I'm sure they offer no more then one year, if that. Cody (lovefab) stopped making this manifold design for a reason.

I won't mention how much an intercooler core of these dimensions costs (assuming it's precision). I can say that's a mighty expensive end tank and weld job.

 

There price's are pretty on point minus a few things here or there. I dont see much wrong with it at all.

 

So am i hearing production model yet? Let me know so i can start saving now lol

 

so you would know fullrace is of greater quality exactly how? Have you seen this manifold in person can you confirm that? nope

Inlinepro seems to be a pretty stand up company so why hate on them for no reason? You are just taking a badass kit and basically talking down about everything it includes.

 

Inline has been known for their amazing quality and reliability with all their mani's.

very nice pieces, price point seems to right on. I still would reroute the ac lines and wires thar run down the passenge side. looks very simular to other manifolds that have been design before- but not to many ways to route a turbo to fit there, we also had many people who said they would buy one of ours when they first saw it, but when it came to putting up the cash they were short. hope you have a better luck and sell a bunch.

 

After looking a little closer, it looks like there is a LOT more missing than just the little square of the frame to mount that intercooler... It looks like you need to remove the entire front structural brace that sits behind the bumper (the thing that the styrofoam gets squished up against when the bumper is installed).

I am assuming this will radically affect the way the car takes a head-on, or even a slow-speed bumper collision.

It looks like the intercooler would be screwed everytime that bumper compresses in an accident.

Would the intercooler fit between the brace and the radiator (if the AC accumulator is bent more "flush" with the radiator vs. the stock 90* bracket)?

Your intercooler (notice there is no brace between it and the bumper):

My intercooler (granted MUCH smaller, but still behind the structural bumper brace):


Just wondering if anyone could chime in on the safety aspect of cutting the frame / bumper brace out. I would imaging it would greatly increase risk of major damage / frame failure in an accident.

Thanks!

No matter what from the looks the crash bar has to be removed.
