no hood clears...im welding an 90 degree elbow to the w/g flange so it faces the firewall and then down and out

1.Sidewinder because it allows me to keep a/c even with the h2d setup and have long runners....i don't need ridiculous quick spool with a h... torque+extra quick spool=0 traction.a longer runner manifold will have better flow up top, while a shorter manifold can yield a faster spool, with also less transient lag. since im running a garrett gt28rs lag is a very small issue
2. No if you look closely you can see all four runners meet at a central point...reason being....they are equal length... The idea being that the exhaust pulses will be spaced out evenly and arriving at the turbine wheel on the turbo at there own time in the firing order. If they arrive sooner or later, they may interfere with the exhaust pulses from the next firing cylinder.
this is a professionally engineered manifold by LOVEfAB....not just something i tried to piece together....
