Hybrid Performance Low Mount Exh.

Rex sells for the same price too for RBs, it's not $500

I give up then ill use the std manifold fck it

Do some grinding in the stock manifold's runner inlets to make them line up with the exhaust ports a bit better. Probably also possible to clean up around the collector area a little bit. I'm sure someone has documented this job on here. It's worth doing if you're looking to push the limits of the stocker.

Stock manifold does 300 rwkw easy. Can even run a space with ex gate on it. Don't waste your time with shit aftermarket manifolds.

Do you think that would be better than die grinding some of the dodgy welds on a cheaper manifold? Surely a cleaned up cheaper manifold would give better gains in power and response than a die grinded stocker?

^ Stao from Hypergear has tested numerous turbos on stock vs. aftermarket manifolds.. the stock one always produced better results - in terms of response, however outright power wise, aftermarket ones produced more power however with some added lag.

The risk is still that dodgy welds you can't/don't reach may still trash your turbo. At least the factory manifold is known to be able to do a certain amount of power completely stock, improve a certain amount above that if you clean it up a little, and not put the turbo at risk. All for almost no money.

Ahk, added lag? Surely not with the quality ones though?

Might just keep the stocker for less hassle
