Full race is awesome and makes great shit but definately isnt the best bang for the buck. If your talkin manifolds, there is definately more choices that are still great quality and wont cost you an arm and a testicle. My $0.02.

Full Race is top notch with the best customer service in the business. All I can say is you get what you pay for. Lifetime Warranty FTW

I would definately go with Full Race but you will be spending a good amount of money.

i have the full race manifold, not the twin scroll, I LOVE IT

its 1000 bucks with a LIFETIME WARRANTY

if you think about it, what else on your car did you pay 1000 dollars for, and have no warranty

I was skeptical, but full-Race is makes some top notch shit. Plus, as previous posters added, Lifetime warranty. As an extra bonus, Geoff and Mario are very helpful and couteous. Here is a picture of my box of Full-Race goodies after they arrived.

hm, thats a very expensive table. but worth every penny. I've talked to a few guys in my local area (built performance, etc.) Told me Peak Boost manifolds werent bad, but they've seen them crack before (im not saying every other one does..maybe 1 out of 100 does) Full Race ones have cracked, but are sent back...fixed (in some cases redesigned) so they wont crack again, and shipped back to you.

i was doubting full race until i got to have a chat with raicer, really nice guy, whos not out pushing you to make a sale, hes just there to provide quality products.

I decided about a month ago to keep saving the penny's for their prostock manifold.

Peak Boost also has the warranty you speak of.

They have replaced are made custom 3 manifold for me now.

It ended up bing a lean portion of the map that was cracking them

not their craftsman ship (like 16:1 afr when i first tuned the car)

No questions, best customer service from a manifold company by far.

The only selling point Full Race has is to conver everyone to Twin Scroll right now.

Thats nice but for the money Peak Boost or Hybrid Dynamics.

If you want twin you have no choice at the current point in time.

Yeah, HPC coating. Full-Race sends it out for you for cheap if you get the combo done together (Dp,Turbo Housing, Manifold).

+1. I did a ton of mani research quite some time ago (for a KA-t though) and decided to go with Peak Boost for my manifold. Nothing but good stuff was said about them from any and every one I talked to.

thanks for the input.
cause i was looking at the turbo set-ups that they offer. both full race and peakboost range around the same price. and both kits come with turbine, manifold, wastegate, etc...

Uh Uh maybe

I like full race, I know the guys there, but I also know Ken at peak boost, got my shit form them, better price.

My mani cracked, they sent me a new one to a local business, and then I sent mine back. They rarely do that, but I could not afford the down time, so they revised and sent me one out. As soon as I got it I mailed them the old one back.

FR is a little better craftsmanship IMO. From all the mani's I have seen, the runners line up perfectly with the head flange, no lip, they weld inside and outon the collector and then grind the inside of the flanges to make smooth as silk. The pb was a little more raw, but since I am not at the limit yet, I didn't need that extra bit of turbulent free flow.

Wut up steve, when you coming down

Fullrace. I have the stock location manifold on my sr20det and also the new twin-scroll on my 2JZGTE w/ dual WGs. They make some nice equipment and my supra w/ GT40R dyno'd 661rwhp at 28psi while getting the spool of a smaller turbo. Tubing is thick-as-shit 8gauge and I haven't seen either one of mine crack...have roadraced the sr20det w/ this manifold for 2 years now.

Props to Geoff for sure, he helped w/ my supra setup a lot and it payed in the end.

ding. I had a Peakboost as well - excellent customer service, manifold fit perfectly, very high quality, blah blah. I had mine HPC Hiper coated (2000* plus) - awesome stuff btw. I could touch my manifold after normal driving. :)

As others have said, bang for the buck you can't beat Peakboost (or Hybrid). Fullrace is "the best" however and you'll definitely pay for it!

750$ vs. 1350$

here's my peak boost

If your not going twin scroll (which is a marginal gain in transient response only) then PB is a better deal, gets the job done and has the same warrenty.
