Exhaust Manifolds

Just wonder whats the options with manifolds and is it worth it? had a google search but want something other than the cheap brands like japspeed but there was nothing else, ive seen some nice manifolds on other cars but do they require modding to fit them, i.e the intercooler pipe and downpipe etc

i have a mongoose exhaust which i was told was from turbo back

Thanks

you really do get what you pay for with regard to manifolds.
protech, dp to name but a few will set you back around a grand new and fetch good money s/h too.

personally you would be better off doing what i did and improving the existing manifold by porting it and matching it to the head
heres one i did earlier lol

if you really want to push the boat out you can then get it ceramic coated to improve it even further
just remember its a waste of time though if your still using the stock elbow

Personally I think they make a big difference but remember ther stainless even the good ones can crack worse still warp

that looks nice bob, notice a difference and what was the costs of doing it?

yeah i know stainless can be risky but ive had a few and never had any problems with them

if you got a dremmel and diy then all it costs you is your time plus a few dremmel bits.....youll need the flexi extension though

johnny....it depends on power/boost your running plus a lot of other variables
mines not running more than 375bhp and its super fast spooling with the stock manifold and aftermarket elbow

i am however considering fitting that turbo kit i have in stock from owen developments onto my car, its the biggest mofo ive ever seen so would be funny to see what the car did with that fitted, i would say thats a 600hp turbo.

What tubby do u think it is then isnt dan got an owen turbo on hes r?

I know what it would do...destroy your new gearbox perhaps

i might just try a japspeed one then to see as there doesnt seem to be anything in between.

thats not the stock manifold is it????? dam how much works in that
