Dragging up an old thread but just wanted people's opinions on one factor of the JBS tubular collected manifold, as shown here:

As you can see, the header for cylinder 1 is considerably longer than 2, 3 and 4. Would this not cause starvation in cylinder 1 at high loads? As the gases are always going to take the shortest route then this design seems a little questionable that's all.

Thoughts/comments?

what it does gain is a tubular collector, which is far nicer flowing than a stock manifold, so merge gases are hitting each other head on like thay are in stock manifolds (or phat clone cousins)

the equal length aspect is'nt as significant as is the merge collector bit
