i just dont understand the need for a tubular manifold when the cast can be just as good for the long run in your car. they flow well ( depending on design of course) and can retain heat better than some other manifolds.just my opinion

One good example is the Flyin' Protege manifold.

Besides, many of the cast manifolds are designed like they are supposed to survive surface temperatures of the sun. One good example is the Flyin' Protege manifold.

i agree, cast manifolds are just fine. they're much cheaper and don't crack. tubular stainless manifolds are really nice but, i hope you or someone you know can weld stainless because they all crack, eventually. a cast log style is a good choice for most protege applications.

For Pro's my understanding is that the BPT manifold is just fine. Corksport has them for a reasonable price. Also keep in mind the many other things that must be done to have a decent turbo system.

You have to remember that the paint is affecting you my friend! 
What we are trying to say is that the cast manifold that is in the FP kit which was designed by Corky Bell won't crack, and flows well enough for the application and that tubular is not needed.
