Seen them a while back on tech and the vette forum.

Not bad at all for a rear mount turbos !

Some superb workmanship has gone into it, and they will go faster.

Interesting how they still use the factory manifolds and also make 1600hp using an aluminium block

But 1600hp could be why they clocked over 200mph in the half mile

Quite simply there is no need for fancy manifolds with turbochargers.

Even on the new Camaro's, most of the kits just use the factory LS3 manifold. Even most turbo builds on Tech most just use the truck manifolds and modify them

It isnt to say tubular manifolds cannot improve things....but simple OEM manifolds work, they're reliable and for the most part cost nothing if already fitted, and simply are not a restriction even at silly power levels.

Many prefer them as they spool better anyway

nothing really, just thought it was interesting that they stayed with the standard manifolds instead of some fancy manifolds
