The kit we offer is a very streetable, daily driver kit. You can keep AC, PS, everything. We made over 500rwhp on only 7psi with a PT70 (the smallest turbo we offer). It made quick spool and made power all the way up top. Feel free to call us anytime to discuss your setup

Every car model has its unique tight spots and own pockets to sneek components in...
One example... Equal length and external gate.. For those who dont know look at the cavity btw a 4g63 and the ac condensor...
Evo.. = length and twinscroll in a itty bitty package..
Like maybe do a 4-1 on each side and a front crossover pipe.
Use double slip collectors on both sides... This would allow for a single main manifold design with just sending different collectors to match a kit... T4 vs thumper.. Single vs dual.. A customer could go from a T4 to a thumper w/o changing manifolds.. Just the colector with the Y and T4 flange welded to it...
I just think there is enough room.. we both know equal length is'nt as important as velocity, clearance or durability... So even a unequal but not radically 4-1 on each side would be the best kit around..

V8_DSM_V8again, though that all sounds nice room is limited and even making the log manifold was tight. There just isn't any room for fancy looking manifolds without sacrificing either AC, or PS. Log manifolds are not the most efficient but they work, and we have nice dyno numbers to back it up as well 
We're very aware of how to make nice looking manifolds

Still better than SS autochrome...
I think the second ones primaries are bit long sacrificing velocity... DN's evo manifold is the one that makes the most sense from a 100% scientific standpoint..
Its not so much about fancy looking..
Get any of those DN things hot and they are'nt so shiny anymore.
I insulate all my turbo exhausts..
I have just seen alot of things on tubular exhausts I dont like that some systems engineer out... Even conventional non turbo headers I have seen crack primary welds at the head flange.. I have'nt seen it on headers with a slip on collector...
Its a tightly packaged car... I just think sooner or later someone is going to come up with something trick that fits..

maybe but how much will it cost and how much work will it take to get to work.
that kit works ok, but i just wouldnt bring it abouve the 600rwhp mark
if its like the tti street kit (which it is) youll loose some ground clearance with the cross over not a whole lot but some

sometimes gives way to
