Crappy? you think 316L SS pipe is crappy compared to 14g tubing?

No thats the nature of using thin gauged tubing on a heated pressure system. We're talking about daily drivers here, any crack is a huge problem to a car someone relies on. Most people here are not building scions made strickly for the track...

Did I mention anything about a flow problems? I don't need a flow bench for you to prove me that friction loss exists. The manifold that was designed could have been easily made with pipe using long radius 90s and not have a worst friction loss.

I wasn't clear on what I meant, I wasn't talking about the Lingenfelter version. My point is that Vette (stock) IS the best bang for your buck. There are also a lot of alternatives as far as F/I goes for the vettes.

Hmmm, you seem to contradict something that has widely been established. Enlighten me, what can you possible be talking about?

Problem is, no one is using 14g tubing...

Which is why he got on your case.

gauged tubing for a turbo manifold...

So you are saying that all the other hundreds of turbo kit manfacturers that us a 14 gauge stainless steel to make there manifolds are a joke as well.

my tubing is made from hardened space alloy, able to withstand a temperature we cannot even generate because it would light the atmosphere on fire. !!

Dom, get the nitrous.

My foot is not in my mouth, that insinuates that I said something incorrect or foolish, like you just did. It is hard for me sit idly by and not to speak my mind for fear of the moderators. I wish ScionLife had a no holds barred section for us to use.

I'll say this to you, back off from posting in every thread I do, back off from commenting on me and my situation period.

sorry man but i noticed from your posts what an ***hole you are so i really feel the need to post the fact that you are one and pretty much haunt any comment you make. and if you would like to take the foot in the mouth literally instead of referring to you keeping your mouth shut about a topic feel free, but everyone who knows you knows exactly what i meant. enough said
