Won't help and will be a royal waste of money. That kit is designed around stock manifolds. If you want to do custom might as well just go full out custom front facing manifolds.

Call Turbonetics and see what they say, also Raymond Performance in Indy has experience at turbonetics mods after the base kit, good luck

I would just leave the stock manifolds and do a cat delete, that will give you more HP and avoid any catastrophic cat issues. also if you need to put the cats back on for inspection it will be easier. not to mention it will all be cheaper. btw the clearance for the up pipe to the turbo is slim, I don't think the system works with shorties either so a set of long tubes may not have enough room, even custom ones.

do they not use the stock manifolds to try to keep it 50 state legal on emissions. You might get more horsepower with out the cats, better flow is ususally better hp with turbos. It'd call them and ask about it. I had a turbonetics kit on a 350z, no cats ran amazing was faster than a stock SS tbh. If the Camaro kit is as good and you can get bigger gains outta a dif toon, lt,s and a dif intake i'd be in for one. Post what you find out
