    Hi guys and girls,

    As title states, wondered if anyone has ever taken time out to quickly weigh the difference between mag and aluminum blower manifolds?

    Our mag manifold needs replacing and the Stage V manifold aluminum peice looks good but wondered what difference in weight there is. I can imagine it might be a fair amount!

    Thanks a lot
    Joe

    weight difference between Alum and Mag blower manifolds

    Aluminum is ~51% heavier than Magnesium...as an example if your mag manifold weighs 20 lbs an aluminum versions of the same shape and volume would weigh 30 lbs .
    Hope this helps
