Well after doing some research I don't see a reason not to go for a tubular manifold anymore. When I first got the kit there was alot of stuff flying around about manifolds cracking and the such, but throwing a quick search out, it really doesn't seem that bad.

My question to all you guys is, what manifolds are directly compatible or would require minor work to work with the inline pro kit. I don't want to have to buy everything new, as everything else in the kit seems up to the task.

 

Why would you buy the inlinepro kit, and then buy a seperate manifold? It comes with one. If you don't want the log manifold then you can order an equal length tubular with it. Just call them for a price as I believe it may not be on their website. Thats kinda funny to buy a kit and get a manifold from somewhere else LOL the whole way I chose my kit really was just based on what I thought was the best manifold! And ease of installation...but mostly the manifold. Everything else is pretty much the same (as far as the reputable kits are concerned).

 

I have the kit already. It's on my car.

 

Oh LOL the way it was worded it sounded as if you were looking at kits! Sorry I'm an idiot. In that case I have no clue...check with IP themselves though still. You obviously already like their stuff...see how much modification will be necessary to use their tubular mani. I believe they are both bottom mounts correct?

 

the fullrace manifold has the turbo in a very similar location as the inline pro

 

It's really hard to believe noone has ever done this before. I will check into the full race manifold, but I doubt it will be that easy.

 

I went from a rev hard cast to a obx full race copy. I had to cut the down pipe and weld in a flex section. Also the turbo outlet moved slightly, but not enough where I couldnt use a coupler. I also had to weld a new dump tube, and also go to a tial 44mm wastegate from a 38. It will cost a little more than you think to do.

 

Look up neeman, he has a PFAB ELT like me and kawi10r. He used the Inline-pro Intercooler and coldside pipes. He made 550whp on a 35R @ 23-24psi I believe.

 

If your interested I could build you a manifold but I would need your manifold to make a jig from so Im not sure if thats possible for you.. Contact me via pm if your interested

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but why don't you just get the inlinepro tubular and ask ya what he can do for you in terms of making the mani fit with your other parts. I'm sure they'll sell you whatever parts that need to be replaced in order to run their tubular mani with your existing parts.
