the 3l upper does have less bends with a more direct flow path. i have one in the closet that i havent had a chance to install yet. i didnt have the cash for a a svt manifold so i picked up a 3l for like $50. idid a lot of searching in the forums and everyone has an opinion. im just sure it will flow better than the regular uim on my s.e. it will probally give a bit more top end since there are less bends in the 3L uim.
