It's schedule 10 tubing, vibrant performance sells the t's and mcmaster has the bends and tubing for the cheapest I found.

Thanks, I got it. So it is good enough for a mild turbo set up?

I think so as long as the turbos are braced so they will keep the weight off the manifold.

loos like my same setup that i will be running in my 65 chevelle.. looking to be around 550rwhp on 8spi or so. they are not done yet but getting there. and these came from vibrant performance. they are very thick and seem like it will be strong but well see.
i still need to have them finished and then ceramic coated

So Vibrant Perf has the T's, Mcmaster has the bends, where do you get the flanges?

I would only do that if there is no other option. I dont like the hard T, specially that close to the head. If I were stuck using logs, I would come of the head with a soft bend before going into the T. I preffer the stock manifolds and have a plan in my head already for a modified set with vbands on Joe's car.

The tubing is 1.5nom which has a larger inside diameter than stock manifolds. I'm pretty sure it is like or 1.6875" or something like that. You can run a 45degree bend on the flange to 2.5 nom tubing to make a more efficient log setup, for real cheap to

With those logs you are pushing all of you exhaust through two 1.6xx" tubes though. I can't see that being very good performance wise. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please

^^^ well really the size doesnt matter so much because its all being forced through a very small space in the scroll of the turbo, but the ability for gases to make hard bends produces more restriction, resulting in poorer performance.

Thats why you should just do elbows from the primary into a larger diameter 2.5nom pipe.

I made my own set of log manifolds for my setup. You can see a couple pics here - http://www.syty.net/forums/showpost....6&postcount=20

I just went 10.99 @ 125 a couple weeks ago on a hot day, 3800 lb truck, 10 lbs of boost, 93 octane, and street tires. I'd say they work just fine.
