It all boils down to what you want. Not relocating accesories. Easier DP routing for larger turbos. The Tube header setup has its benifits.
Kyle upgraded from my 6.0L manifold setup to the tube header setup. Decided the A/C wasnt going back on and this is what we went with. He can probably better explain the upgrade.

There were a few reasons why I went to this from the manifold setup. As josh said easier upgrades and can keep all the accessories. I chose to still have no ac as most of my exhaust and wideband O2 are already ran. The ac can be put back with an easy downpipe change. The other main reason I switched is for looks... There is nothing like the look of tube headers with a big turbo hanging off of it!!!!!

I dont have AC, so not an issue. Am I limited to turbo size with the truck manifolds? Will they both do the same thing, power wise? Is the power potential greater with the tube manifolds pictured?

What's Pictured is roughly $2500 + the ride.
Headers alone roughly $1200 + the ride.
Contact myself or Derek@KY-Turbo if interested.
I run bigger with 1 3/4 Primary on the headers and 3" on the Charge pipe for growing room and to stream line the T4 and T6 setups with similar parts. With the Airflow that is afforded with LS1 Heads and the efficiency the LS1 engine have I have not see a huge drop in power from 2.5" to 3". I have done alot of testing on this.
The A/C setup will rotate the Turbo 180* and send the DP out the drivers side, that is exactly right.
Imitation is the biggest form a flattery. Karma is a Bitch. I have a unique way for swinging Karma one way or another in this industry

Your not limited to turbo size with truck manifolds. The header style though will allow you to keep all of your factory accesories in the stock location and as well as a/c.

Quality of work looks good. I assume your $1200 is with 304ss. A friend and I were looking at production hot sides a while back and couldnt settle on a price that made sense from a profit margin standpoint vs. what the market would bear. At $1200 you can have it.
