Sorry but there is like a million threads on this.
The megan manifold WILL crack, the ported stocker is your BEST choice, unless you wanna pay 900+ for the full-race one.(BTW 9sec9 runs the ported stocker on his 9 sec FPRed car).Nuff said.

I got a Megan tubular manifold, Ebay o2 housing when everyone used to say they where junk, and a Forge WGA with heavy spring for a killer hand in a poker game one time and they are all still on my car and performing very well. I have had no issues with the Megan manifold in over 25k miles of both highway and hard street driving. It has lost some of its original "bling" but that is to be expected for anything that passes 1600-1800 degree exhaust gases through it! LOL

With those parts and others listed in my signature, I made 319 whp on a very low reading Mustang Dyno on a hot day this past summer on pump gas @ 23 psi.

If I had a limitless budget, then yes I would get the Full Race manifold. However I don't have a limitless budget and this one was basically free.

As stated above, the ported stocker is the best for reliability and leak free lifetime use. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

A local cracked one after a few thousand miles of use. I'd strongly recommend against it.
