I'm sure Adam will have plenty more pics to add, but here are a few of mine.
I'll get some more up tomorrow.

Sexyfull.
But god curt,
I know its your trademark to have a super powerful motor yet it's always dirty as hell,
but still man
It's filthy.
A+ though man.
Can't wait to see new numbers soon.
watching..
i'd still be more interested in a header that droops the turbo
gah enough already, you are making me want to switch to turbo
nah, it would be cool but ill probably stick with what i got, already got enough invested..

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
Well, odds are it'll flow better overall than the logs we're used to seeing, but I'm not a fan of the drastically different angles of the two pairs of pipes coming into the collector... Would much rather see the collector angles as equal as possible.

You can say how much you don't like it. The thing is Adam busted his ass on this thing. I cannot thank him enough. I read a thread over in the performance thread about how his 3" exhaust is overpriced...everyone can say what they want about his pricing, in my opinion it's too low. Every detail was gone over, he was tried to make the best possible header for me with my specifications. The turbo had to be in a certain location, the wastegate in a certain spot, the runners were an afterthought. He took an idea that I had in my head and turned it into reality. No drawings, nothing other than a few conversations and a couple days at his shop. I am very impressed with his talent and his attention to detail.
For the motor comment...10lbs of sh!t in a 5lbs bag.

Your dump tube looks like it needs some Viagra lol.
Looks good Curt, good buy!
Oh Lord !!! I now need to change my shorts...LOL
That thing is Damn Sexy !!!!
Good luck with your new manifold...... Now lets see those times drop !!!
That is awesome!!!! That should net in alittle more POWA!!!!!!!!!
I hope you rig up a good turbo mount, it'd be a shame to see that thing crack up.
Lookin good, when are you hitting the dyno?
wow that thing is neat!
oddly enough it looks almost identical to my venom INTAKE mani...
I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.
Nice, i will have me a turbo header one day!!!!

I haven't got a chance to transfer all my pics yet but ill throw a few up of the build tomorrow. Over all im happy with the manifold and the build. This was a rushed job for curt to get done asap for his dates. Its not exactly how i wanted to do the runners but like curt said its what we had to do to get his turbo and gate where we wanted it. I got the materials friday morning and i think we started pulling the test fit car apart at about 2pm. By monday night we had it finished off ready to install on the car. Not bad turn around time for everything else i had going on that weekend.
JerseyJayLN2 (Scarab) - That collector isn't as bad as it seems in those pics. Those pics do make it seem like a harsh merge. Its actually not that bad of a collector as far as flow and smoothness. Im sure i got a straight on shot of the bottom and side on my camera to post up. Another thing to consider is the runner layouts and the 2 short runners are on the 2 collector bends. Its going to get the runners a more corrected equal length.
To anyone else interested im going to be doing a GP on a very similar top mount manifold. Im finishing up pricing now and will be starting a interest/comment thread next week followed shortly by a GP thread. Pricing is looking very nice right now at right around $500 for a externally gated 100% Stainless top mount manifold.

Atomic, for $500 that's a steal. Looking good guys, as always Skunk that engine bay is naaaasty lol! At least seeing the pretty turbo and manifold makes it look a bit nicer

I don't like it up top, looks to much like a cluster @!#$.... never the less, can't wait to see how this improves your numbers bud.
I love it up top for the "Oh @!#$" factor when you pop the hood

Thats hot but header wrap? Isn't that extremely bad for the metal? are you going to get it jet coated eventually?
The wrap is for now. This winter the header, downpipe, and the new turbo's turbine housing will all be jet hot coated.
