Re: manifold question please...

from what I see the answer is NO...the manifolds only real difference is the t3 flange at the end...as far as I can see there would be 0 gains!

Odd question. Z31-T manifolds are not designed to increase the exhuast flow of a normally aspirated VG engine.

sure.. it'll provide tons of flow.. right out the T3 flange into your engine bay.


but no.. even if you got NA Z31 manifolds, you won't get any difference despite the fact you'll have to run complete custom exhaust.. the Z31 manifolds are set up for a RWD car, not FWD. the pipes come out in weird places and would be a PIA to make work on our cars. just not worth it.
for the time and money you'd spend on that, you cna put it somewhere else and make 10x the power.
