Manifolds

Which would you have on your car Cast or Fabricated?

I have heard the Cast manifold is far beter than the Fab one is this right?

My experiences...

Cast would be the most reliable.&nbsp They are typically cheaper.&nbsp The problem is it's hard to do one-off's, especially for custom installations.&nbsp You're limited to what's available to you.

Tube manifolds are a bit more efficient and lighter!&nbsp The problems is that most of the custom ones aren't built very well and easy crack and leak.&nbsp A wellbuilt unit should be made out of 321 stainless steel, which is very expensive and very hard to work with.&nbsp A properly built tube manifold usually ends up costing closer to $1,000!
