I have not kept up on the manifold / turbo aftermarket support progress. I have a 00 SS camaro with a stick that is just sitting in the driveway. it was my wifes daily until we got a ctsv. so now I can turbo the camaro.

I bought these this winter and swapped them in for my home built hotside and they have been solid. I have mine installed in a c10 pickup with a 5.3.
http://xs-power.com/chevrolet-headers-25.htm for $280 shipped. I like them much better than the china cast ebay manifold i had my hands on.

CAD up the manifolds that you always wondered why nobody makes. 3d print them in a burnable (think lost wax casting) type of material. Make your molds, cast your custom manifolds, tig up the rest of the piping for a hot side, and have a truly one of a kind setup.
