    Its the smaller one then. Won't work on mine I have to have the log style.

    I wish someone would make a good one of those, that would last longer than a year before leaking at the joints!

    What do you mean by the log style? A 1 peice manifold?

    No, its the bigger one for square port heads for my B model. Thinks its the same as whats on the c-18's? It's bigger than whats on the E's. It's 3 pcs just like the others.

    I will try to wisper but did you talk to Mr Haney about it? He ran a C18 manifold for awhile but done some flow bench work and ended up runnning a PDI manifold.

    Yeah we've talked about it once or twice. I'm just looking for one that doesn't leak. I'm not pushing massive amounts of power.

    I think PDI's manifold costs less than Cat?

    PDI's dont leak. Not sure what a cat manifold costs. IMO I dont think the ported coated manifold is that much better atleast at the power level I am at. It may be because of the 2 turbos already have so much restriction to them. It does seem to boost up just a bit faster. Although I seem to have lost about a .1 in mpgs. Oh and I am comparing the ported vs non ported PDI manifolds. Both are leaps and bounds better than the stock cat and worth about .5 mpgs over stock manifold.

    I'm gonna try a few things before I buy one.

    What I'm wanting to do is bore out the center housing then weld up the front part and machine it down to make another fit. Don't know if that will work or not.

    Hey can you two shut up for a minute I want to get back to the PDI bashing by the guy with the horrible grammar and typing skills.:biggrin_25522:

    He could be 100% right on his issues with PDI but when what you type looks like a cat walked on your keyboard you lose all credibility. You show me a company with who claims to have ZERO customer complaints and I'll show you a liar.

    It was all over by the time we were talkin. The Mods got involved and deleted most of his posts. Ruined all the fun. I had thought of another good reply to 1 of his post but they deleted it before I got to it.
