Default Turbo Manifold Shape

Hey guys, so I see sooo many different turbo manifold shapes out there, are there better shapes for more power etc?

Heres a pic of a manifold I think looks crazy, is it faster then normal??

To tell the truth all tubular manifold will crack after prolong usage, no way around it. I do have to say though that the Full Race one is about the best I have ever seen. They use 8 gauge forged stainless steel and it is all custom. To get down to it a machine that is able to mandrel bend 8 ga forged ss is over $60,000 alone. You will not get one from them for any less than $1000 though.

Other than that a log/cast manifold is about the best thing to get on a street/strip car. Turbonetics makes good ones along with edlebrock and a good number of other companies.
