Funny, it cost me nothing but time...

If you're talking about two log manifolds; then yes, those are generally cheaper than a tubular; even though they don't flow as well and will limit the torque output. You also have to count that you're buying another turbo, and a single that flows equivalently doesn't cost anywhere near 2x as much. Twin IC piping, twin intakes, etc, etc. It's cheaper to do a single  |
