i am sure the main's are worth the money....no doubt..
but...i have no other mods than a tuner....with a MILD MILD tune....and that is how it will stay......
i live in Chicago where diesel emissions are right around the corner for us so i may have to "un do" all this in 1-2 years time.....to pass smog. mabey..
I am not questioning the validity of the manis in the correct truck, what i am questioning is the fact that a mani swap is for every truck....i believe there are some guys out there (fleets, low mod guys, ect) that a bolt on solution that anyone can install is better suited for...permanant mods are not for everyone...
we all know that the bolt on's are crazy overpriced for what they are just to re-route the coolant. Why don't one of the few mani guys make a kit thats just a bolt on for the little guys who don't have 500+ to spend on a permanent modification that may or may not be easily reversed. It's easy to say just send it back and swap back but what happens in 2 years time can change a lot.
Look at this kit on e-bay i am considering....225 for the ability to bolt on a u-turn for the pipe....without destroying the manifolds ability to return to stock.

i just wish one of our trusted mani guys would make us something like this..for the guys who may not even be running a tuner....but still want to delete the cooler easily in their own shop without welding and swapping. And without paying stupid amounts of money for it.
we all saw the acura hose mod....or any other home made 180...it would be nice if there was a middle ground between the overpriced junk and the home made kits...
