Up until the TSE manifold came out, Absurdflow was the absolutely best you could get. Then I would say Artech. I would personally still take an Absurdflow/Artech manifold over any other cast manifold besides the TSE one.

Thanks Larz!
Abe@ARTech and Matt@Hellafab both produce great manifolds, and they look prettier too!
If this manifold was to be used on a dedicated track car, bouncing off the rev limiter on banked straights like Sav does, I would recommend some gussets overlapping the welds. Or just run it and fix/gusset the cracks when they form; fixing weld elbow manifolds is relatively simple, not so for most cast manifolds.

So does this come with an intake? or just the heat shields for an intake?
Does this fit the oem midpipe?
Still unsure what model years this kit is for. I have a 2001 with A/C.
Leafing through the various for sale threads, it seem this will fit an A/C car, but still not sure about total fitment, intake, or stock exhaust compatibility.
Another PM sent.

Supposedly the fit is for an NB. I was going to have to get the additional parts to make it fit my NA and hope I could sell the NB-specific parts (AFAICT the intake heat shield and downpipe). EO2K and 18psi should be able to answer any other fitment questions.
