    "J.R."....you are da man!!! The "network" you've created for your subscribers is the best!!! That manifold is the bomb for guys like me (and you) working with a tight budget!!! You have done so much for the "regular guy" trying to have a lil fun on the weekends with his daily driver...adrenaline thumpin project. My daily driver right now is a 2003 Denali Yukon XL 6.0L that i picked up at auction (totaled) for $1,000.00 and 2 weeks later drove it to church on Sunday with my wife. Pulls my tool trailer like it's not even there and has 240K on the clock. Just did a 900 mi round trip to get one of my projects out of my son-in-law's backyard (1991 GMC K1500 shortbed reg cab) was towing dual axle trailer (electric brakes) and no issues. The K1500 is getting a 5.3 this winter and I have my eye on 2001 GMC C1500 with 5.3 at auction that will get the turbo treatment. Keep doin what you do!!!

    Noob question here. ON some of the kits I've seen, they run a pipe from the drivers side exhaust and plumb both exhaust before the turbo. I like the idea of this manifold for simplicity, what are the downsides of just one exhaust band spinning the turbo versus both banks?

      This manifold does that, there's no way to only run one bank.
