Free Shipping Hurry Low Stock

If you’re serious about pushing your Gen 2 B58 to its limits, the Race X Manifold is what you’ve been looking for. This isn’t just another aftermarket part; it’s been built for the hardcore motorsports crowd, and trust me, it shows. With a core that’s 25% larger than the already impressive Super Manifold, you're getting some serious airflow and cooling advantages here. We're talking about 15 cooling rows compared to the 12 in the previous model, which means better thermal management when you're cranking out the power.

Installation? It’s not a walk in the park, but it’s manageable if you’ve got some mechanical know-how. CSF made some smart tweaks to the mounting tabs to make it a bit easier to line everything up. You might need to do a little test fitting, but once you get it right, it’s a straightforward drop-in fit. Just make sure you’re comfortable working on your B58 engine, as this is not a beginner's project.

One of the standout features is the new front port that’s designed for ice box setups. It’s got a -16 ORB bung, which is the biggest you’ll find on any aftermarket B58 manifold. This means you can really optimize your water flow, especially if you're serious about cooling. CSF even teamed up with Brown and Miller for those fittings, so you know you’re getting top-notch quality.

And let’s not forget about the thermal rejection spacer made from KIYLEX. This stuff can handle up to 1100°F and helps keep your manifold temps down by as much as 15%. Lower intake air temperatures mean better performance, and that’s exactly what you want when you’re chasing those high horsepower numbers.

The manifold also comes with a handy fuel rail that supports both returnless and full-loop systems. Plus, it’s got multiple ports for nitrous or methanol injection, so you can really dial in your setup for maximum performance. And if you need to measure additional parameters, there are two 1/4" NPT ports alongside the standard three 1/8" ports—perfect for those who like to keep an eye on everything.

For those oil changes, CSF has made it easier to access the spin-off oil filter without having to remove the manifold each time. That’s a small but super handy feature that saves you time and hassle.

Overall, the Race X Manifold is designed for those who are serious about racing and performance. It’s been tested in some of the fastest B58-powered drag cars out there, so you know it can handle the heat. If you’re ready to take your B58 to the next level, this manifold is where it’s at.

CSF warranty is applicable only to the original owner of the vehicle. Original paper work verifying the proof of purchase and pre-installation cooling system checklist signed by the professional installer is required to process warranty claims.

Take care of your radiator, as under circumstances listed below the warranty will be void.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause. The deformation is a result of the radiator being subjected to extremely high pressure and or temperature caused by any of the following reasons:Defective Pressure Cap, Defective Head Gasket, Defective Temperature gauge (incorrect readings), Defective Water Pump etc. Such units are not covered under the warranty.

If a radiator seems to have a “fit problem” there is the possibility that there is some confusion about a multi-fit radiator that might look different. Your nearest CSF WD can clarify the application, just give them a call. A perceived fit problem is not covered under warranty.

If a unit is damaged in shipping, please file a claim with the carrier. Damages caused during shipping, installation or handling are not covered under warranty.

Any repairs or alterations to the unit will automatically void the warranty.

Any form of abuse, including the use of improper coolant mixtures, damage caused by steam, corrosion etc and use on commercial vehicles voids the warranty. It is the vehicle owners’ responsibility to maintain the cooling system as specified in the owners manual.
