How long does it take for people to change these out in their garages? I believe both of my manifolds are warped, but I would rather do it myself if its a weekend job.

I have a set with the black ceramic coating that are being installed along with my Powermax turbos, on a new long block. Should have it ready in about 2-3 weeks.

Should be a nice setup! Stock long block or upgraded block? Any other upgrades like fuel injectors or HPFP? I would have done the Full-Race manifolds if I didn't have the CRPs already.

I just did both turbo swap and it took me a long couple days. Its not the easiest but can be done. Jack up and remove tires, Remove fenders and liners, remove intake pipes and hot side pipes, drain coolant, pull downpipes, pull Turbos and coolant and oil lines, I dropped alternator and AC compressor for more room, then you can get to the manifolds. Then reverse everything. I would say do a oil change and tranny fluid and filter swap while everything is out of the way.

I have the Full Race manifolds on the black ceramic and they're fantastic.

Dealer put them on along with my Powermax turbos as part of a long block replacement (broken driver's side timing chain), and I've been driving it for about 3 weeks now.

Power and spool is incredible although it's hard to tell how much of that's from the manifolds themselves versus the turbos.

I'm waiting on a JMS Fuelmax to finish tuning with Goose; I'm running E85 and it's definitely well over 550HP as it currently sits, maybe more.
