the fd cast hks one is the divided one.... the one ssautochrome/obx copied.
should flow plenty.... id think other parts of a setup would be choak points before that manifold ever was one.
ie.. ports, intake manifold, TB.... ect.

Thicker flanges and better fitiment. I am not sure if they moved up to a thicker tubing yet.
Which is SS Autochrome, had flanges that were not flat and many people had to get it machined.This was the 2nd POS from them I got.
Its mass produce crap.I think more had problems then those whose fit perfect like it should.

yea buy the hks cast, or spend money on a better ss manny. though i'm sure you can get an Aspec, or gotham manifold, for much less than what hks wants for thier stainless manifold. list price is 1050, but be glad you don't have a supra, as the list for that is over 2300. don't know why though as there can't be more tubing than is in the wrx manny...

the hks cast manifold would probably handle more power than most people are capable of running. I noticed that the cast manifold is able to retain the heat better than a stainless manifold. i have a 1st gen with the cast manifold and a second gen with a custom stainless manifold with a wall thickness at 1/8" . the stainless manifold radiates so much heat. both cars are set up up the same except for the manifold. they both run good.
