. turbo manifolds are crazy. better not going to say better. it really matters on the design, runner length, and tubing diameter. I have seen longer manifolds spool at a much later rpm then shorter. more intercooler piping will not hurt. I really feel if done right it can look much better. but then again it is all about the design and what he is after. I love the idea of keeping the exhaust under the car. either way it should be sweet
