ive been doing alot of searches and just wondering what are the best exhaust manifolds and o2 housings for the stock turbo.. i heard alot of bad things about cracking with megan products so idont know about htem.. what do ppl really like out there??

 

Most people get a stock manifold and have it ported and coated.As far as 02 housing's Ive seen a lot of people use the Invidia 02 housing.

 

Get an O2 dump. Here's the link:

yeah i know alot get the stock ported but it looks so FUGLY!!!

 

Then put a heat shield over it....

 

GT Spec manifold
Works O2 housing

 

i have a megan o2 housing...
pretty good quality, i like it

 

I had a Megan O2 housing for a while and never had issues.

 

If you are looking to make power get a ported stocker. If you want bling put a cover on it. I have a ported mani for sale if you are interested.

 

I'm going with OEM cast iron, ported and coated, with Cusco heat shield and Megan 02 housing. For the price, I think that's the way to go...

 

i have the dc manifold and no problems

 

If you're concerned about cracking on the manifold, just port the stocker. A really good exhaust manifold will cost ya. Don't be cheap.

I agree with going the O2 dump route. They just came out, so many people haven't heard of them yet. O2 housings can have boost creep, but the dump should make the same amount of power [if not more], help spool, and sound like a freakin' big turbo spooling up.

 

hmm i want an aftermarket manifold cuz it looks alot better than the stocker.. i just dont know what to get.. so many choices, jus dont know what to do!!

 

I wouldn't buy a tubular exhaust manifold solely for looks.

 

megan manifolds are garbage in my opinion. I make more power with a ported stocker. You're right it doesn't look as good but an aftermarket heat shield makes it look so much nicer. Couple of manifolds do make power but are gonna cost you. Mynes, Borla and Full-race.
