    I would stay away from a log manifold at all means possible, and that 5857 won't fit IIRC. Log manifolds have poor flow and increase heat by a lot when compared to tubular manifolds. Only benefit of a log is that they're cheaper, but that's expected. 5857 is a promising turbo without a doubt, make a full list of parts and we'll tell you how it looks! Also, post a pic of your car

    Yeah I was reading that log style manifolds don't produce as much HP as well. Looking at the the Full race manifold looks really good might get that! So a Percision 5857 won't fit on a FR manifold also? Still new to this turbo game lolol so ill have to get a down pipe dump tube. Probably use the same intercooler your using on ur car Si Speed full race pipes wanna keep my battery where it is so I don't wanna relocated it.

    I'm not as familiar with the 8th gen as the RSX sorry... but I agree stay away from any log manifold.

    I have seen some super sick top mount kits for the 8th gen...
    Available now are SPAZ APPROVED decals!!! Available in multiple colors!

    Definitely stick with a tubular mani, have you figured out anything else you want? The new 400lph in-tank walbro pump is pretty awesome..
