[QUOTE="DemonSVT, post: 1791472, member: 435"] 1. That's impossible considering their size compared to the stock manifold flange. The look at least 2" in diameter. Maybe larger. BTW - 1.5" = 38mm Untouched stock 2.5L outlets are at least 46mm wide. (1.81") Don't you think 1.5" would be stupid to use if the ports are 1.81" wide??? :loser: 2. BS. Stock manifolds are clamshell SS. They will retain heat far better then any material non-wrapped header. Not only that they have a better flow design then POS log manifolds. Velocity may not be "paramount" but it does get the exhaust gas to the turbine quicker which means less time to cool down. 0 for 2 3. The placement of a waste gate in just one bank's up-pipe. It is pure asinine! 'nuff said. 4. I never said "halts" However the only source for airflow to the radiator is the small entry in the bumper. Airflow is so scarce to the radiator that Ford went out of their way to make extra air deflector to route air into the radiator. Adding an IC which both covers that small opening and then considering it's thickness will drastically reduce the airflow through the radiator and it's ability to cool. That could be deadly on a boosted engine. Again this is just not a viable option when using common sense. [/QUOTE]
