Yea you can say its confusing.
Somebody had to make the intial design of the manifolds before they were redesigned. DUH? I don't think you had a custom set made (other than ITS), and than sent that to be re-engineerd after it was just made. I think you might of gotten an extra set of manifolds maybe to play with 
But than again what do I know.

My welders name is Jay Favorite here in Eaton Ohio. He has been making roll cages and headers for about ten years. Remember the redisign to turbular manifolds...Jay made the prototype2. THAT is where the second design came from, certainly not Itsturbo. Their manifold design was horrible!  Nathan

Ive got a great idea... How about everyone just relaxes and lets this guy get his kit together... Then he can show us what 450FWHP looks like... If it doesn't happen, then we bash the hell out of him for everything he's said... Who cares what anyone is "going to do" to their cars? If it's not done, then what's it matter? He already admitted he spent way more than $5,000 on this so hey, SF owners win, he loses... But on the other side of the fence, if Nathan wants to talk game about this, then show some pictures in the process and prove them wrong... Too much talk going on

I will post pics of the kit installed on the Cougar tonight. I am waiting on two injectors, and trying to find a way to Tune for now. But i will atleast post pics of all the hot parts installed.
Just keep in mind this is the prototype....which does not yet have the rear manifold, it is installed to the stock manifold. I have to wait three more weeks before the new manifolds come in. But until then, i am determind to get the junk prototype to run first. Then install the new kit once i get it.
Thanks, SNB

I'm envious of the FMIC.....If only I was able to get away with a narrower radiator to accomodate the pipes for that! The up-pipes from the manifolds to the turbo are very similar in layout to the SF kit, but I see the exhaust was routed back around the pan like the stock from exhaust pipe runs. Interesting. On my kit the downpipe runs straight back alongside the pipe that came from the back header.
