I did a quick search for it when I posted my original comment, but can't think of what the key terms were.
IIRC the tubular manifolds made in the 10-15 less hp from redline to 55/6k and 10 hp more from 6K on, with a loss of similar torque down low, but regaining it up top (versus a stocker).
I know it's expensive, but I can't praise the extrude hone and swain coat enough. For the cost of both processes, you will spend more than a cheap manifold, but alot less than a FullRace/Peakboost, or similar.
I actually offered Full Race to dyno compare my modified stocker vs their bottom mount, and it eventually came down to the fact that they wanted to do it on their dyno, and wanted a standalone not a rom tune (as I assume they wanted to 'tune specifically' to the manifold. My last comment was '85 percent of 240 owners use rom tune, so why not compare that'. Nothing else was said. I'll let their lack of reply or 'eagerness' to compare manifolds speak for itself...
(by no means am I bashing Full race, just stating the simple fact of the matter...if I was going a big turbo route, I'd be looking at them for sure for manifold choice...but in terms of the bottom mounts, I'll stick with what i have)
