Log mani vs Ram horn

[needanew1]

Will it really be worth it to spend the extra amount of money on a Ram Horn Manifold vs getting a log manifold? And will i have clearance issuse with a ram horn manifold on my itr thats in a 97 ex at the moment?

there really is no comparison between the 2

i have seen dyno sheets of up to 68hp gain comparing a log and a ramhorn. from what i remember it was a mild setup too.

i would go with the ram horn

ramhorn ftw....even tho they are mad expensive...thats wat im gonna try and get

 

[needanew1]

Thanks for the input, i was planning on doing the ramhorn, just worried about spending the cash on it and not having enough room, but ill make it work. Thanks again!

im going with a cost alternative medium: mini-ram

still tubular so its not as restrictive as a log and will make good power, yet the runners are still short enough to help promote quick spool

Yea, thats another one i was looking into, seems like a good design

i think the ramhorn is better do to the shape. something about how the air moves. but i could be mistaken.

The only downfall with ram horns or other custom manifolds is the fact they also have a tendency to crack. I've seen love-fab's crack and they are well over $1000. I'm going to be using a log on my setup until it breaks and/or I find a good deal on something else.

In the end, you may not open up that extra power, but if you get a hairline in your ramhorn mani, you'll end up losing all that power just as fast as you made it.

isn't there alot more turbo lag on the ramhorns as well?? im going to run a log when i get my setup. that way i get to keep my ac

 

[needanew1]

well then screw it, lol ill save alot of dough and just do my first setup with a log, if all goes not well then ill do try the ramhorn when i have more cash.

u can keep a/c with ramhorn

u can keep a/c with ramhorn

oh really? i thought you couldn't because of space.

ummm i think the medusa header looks sick and i have a quick question so since the ramhorn is better than the log then which one is better out of the ramhorn and the top mount manifold full race has?

 

[civicsi94]

there are a/c comapt. ramhorm manifolds. the only downfall is slightly later spool time versus the log mani which gives slightly faster spool time. IMO. if u are building the motor and boosting high later on down the road. go ramhorn. if u are keeping the motor stock then stay log

 

[Jezek]

medusa looks nuts...I swear you'd lose power with that lol

That site has fair prices tho...any reviews on their products on the web?

 

[civicsi94]

no doubt lol. but i do like lovefab's mani.... but i am alittle short on cash......that and the ecu is all thats holding me from boost man.lol

in the HT test, spool time was 250-300 rpm sooner with the log. not much IMO

 

[civicsi94]

but u get better peak power with the ramhorn versus the log in addtion
