^^u see...and if hes ready to drop 900 on a top mount mani, money aint an issue. I say do it...i always wondered y other cars use top mounts and we dont...i think it looks 10 times better when ur turbo is fully visable. like a 240 or top mounted civics...

cast manifolds work far better for street driven cars. tubular manifold can raise under hood temps by 150 degrees or so. I as such am not a big fan of them. I always run a cast manifold when one is available. If I were going to do what you want to do I would use danny our local fabricator. he did Miguels manifold and it came out very nice.

theres really no advantage to it, nothing but a lot of hassle to "look good". I guess if thats what floats your boat... but a pink paint job would be a lot easier
