Guys I wanted to put together a drawing for this but I have not had time to so I will share some info that we used to design and shape the manifold.
First I decided on 304 Stainless because it will essentially outlast you and I. Holds up very well to heat and keeps structural integrity under high heat/pressure (competition) use. Granted the price of stainless is much higher than the mild steel used in other units but, will never rust or corrode.
Secondly, sizing.. The volume is required to increase across the plane to net a increase in flow.
We addressed this by shaping the dies used to form the manifold based on cubic inches of internal volume ramping 100% at the introduction of the next port. In laymans terms the volume of the manifold is required to increase from port to port.
Here are the numbers:
Port 1 to start of port 2 - 8.33 in^3
Port 1 &2 to start of port 3 - 18.95 in^3
Port 1,2 &3 to start of port 4 - 31.62 in^3
Total volume to exhaust outlet flange - 38.37 in^3
Granted we were unable to make it perfect, but close enough. The reason for doing this is any unnecessary volume or a straight tube will effect spool up causing a laggy initial tip-in. On the other hand sizing the manifold to small will net little to no gains.
I have been running them on my truck and love them. Jareds truck put down 820 on rudys dyno with them. My daily driver did well on a superflow also netting well over 700rwhp. In my opinion, they work.
Add a set of the all new 304 Stainless up-pipes and you have a killer combination. These interchange back and fourth with stock parts, no mods are needed. Get them in hand and your ready to go!
