just got done looking at my car and i decided how i want my friend to build the manifold. get a civic raditor and mount it. that manifold doesnt even come close to the header. so when he build my manifold im going to have him turn the turbo flange were the intake is facing the bumper. just have to make sure the manifold drops low enough so there isnt so much of a angle on the turbo to clear the exhaust. but i was listening to my friends turbo and the turbo muffles the exhaust enough to were its quite enough not to get pulled over. so screw an exahust. saves money of having one built and that will never be as less restrictive as an open turbo. now i have the inlet facing the air and i get to keep a/c.

:cool: open down pipes really are not that loud on turbo cars. they do seem loud inside the car tho, they kind of shake everything inside.
