Bob's manifold is really nice.

I think it comes down to how much money you want to spend.

Also keep in mind that running the center mount "stinger" header requires a few modifications.

Look at my SVO page for pics of my IC tubing on my SVO running my header.

Also, I posted pics not two weeks ago in the talk section of my soon to be released front mount IC kit for my header...

does your header still require a turbo brace/flex extension???summit sells the flex pipes so a muffler shop could do that. but a brace i could fab up i guess....does it really move that much it needs a brace?

?

What about the "I" header??? You know, the one that I made. I'm making my own header due to my habitual penny pinching and the fact that I like to fabricate I'll post some picks when I'm done. It's basically just primary tubes into a 3" pipe(approx. 15" long) with the turbo flange appropriately located.

Click to expand...

Flex joint depends on the hanger setup on the exhaust, brace isn't need.

It doesn't "move around that much" in general but when you subject steel to 1600+ degrees it gets red hot...you know what can happen to steel when it's red hot and you hang a 20-30lb weight on it (turbo).
