Log style manifolds
just curious what everyone thinks of log style manifolds? I am in the works of a turbo 370 Miata. its kinda tight and stainless works headers arent really in my budget. i can put together some log style manifolds with 1.75" primaries and 2.5" collectors. someone on here mentioned too high EGTs (isnt that good for turbos anyway?) and inefficient design. anyone here built a set yet?

I was kinda curious about logs myself. Especially have a stock manifold in stock postion one side having the pipe swing around to the passnger side, connect and have the passengerside primarys meet the single pipe then to turbo. Is that what u mean? I'd like to see some power numbers from that style

I have a set of LS1 header flanges and i could easily build a set of logs for my upcoming 91mm build. I am thinking of building a set tubular headers but that is too much commitment.

You can’t blame the back pressure on the log manifolds
If your taking your readings from under the turbo inlet flange.
The cause of the back pressure is always down stream
of where your reading from.
It could be the turbine is too small, the A/R is too small
or the exhaust system may not flow enough.
But you can’t blame it on the log headers.
Not trying to bust your *****, just trying to help.

grand nationals been boosted over 2 decades ago and they came stock with log style setup
ive ran a Log setup for my truck made good power, i also fabbed a log setup for a Fbody as well

im also using log manifolds.. it was the only thing to use on my 65 chevelle ls2. should be done in a few weeks then i can get some dyno numbers. im only going to be running 8psi

the thing I like about my log headers is I can get to all the spark plugs and thay fits real nice my car does make good power for sure and the gt4788 r know for back psi prob but a lot of people on here told me the logs had something to do with my back psi hope this helps
