I am planning a big install day with the following;

-TGV deletes
-Hondata gaskets
-APS inlet
-Perrin V2 fuel rails
-Injectors (maybe)
-Tune

I am on the fence with the manifold. I cant figure out which way I should go and if the bennies are worth the time/$$$.

Option 1: FXT stocker painted with DEI flat black header paint

Option 2: Silver/Gold DEI heat tape wrapped (time consuming)

Gold: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010393/

Solver: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010413/

Option 3: Ported/Coated manifold/TB ($$$)

Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated. I know that option 3 is great but is it that beneficial other than rocking the engine bay goodness. :rock:

TIA

I didnt see an option for STI wrinkle red! LOL

I would spend the $$$ elsewhere.

im w/ tuned, the money per hp gained is nill to none. put the money elsewhere and just paint the manifold.

i agree with the others fourortwo and tuned that the money can be spent else. unless you are making BIG power you wont see much gains

why are you changing your fuel rails? are you running a stock turbo?

I am on a VF39 but while I am in there I figured what the hell looking forward to bigger things.

If you want to dress up your mani by painting it, go for it. I would spend my money elsewhere though...

Decision:

I am planning on painting the manny flat black with VHT Hi-Temp paint (same as TGV deletes) and then add the Perrin V2 fuel rails with a Perrin V2 turbo inlet.

are you sticking with side feed or are you converting to top feed?
