Little advice for a manni

As many of you probably saw my tuning thread, my Ported Megan Manifold cracked on the dyno. So now im oredering the FP Red withing a few months and im looking for a good tubular manifold to run. I looked into the Borla and they have had some pretty good words for it, but has anyone used it here?, any cracking? heres the link to it

http://www.jscspeed.com/evo/exhaust/borla_header.htm

I also saw JM Fabrications, and havent heard to much about them but my buddy uses it on his red and says its an awsome manifold. Looks like ETS if you ask me lol heres the link

http://www.maperformance.com/jm-fabr...-evo-clon.html

what is your guys suggestion on a manifold to use.

i dont want a ported and coated stocker, im just not into that look, i want something tubular.

thanks for any advice

Full Race had the only gains over the ported manifold from Buschur's test years ago. Hunt one of those down, they are pure sex.

Go with the Turbotrix manifold. I've seen it in person and I can say Keith did a awesome job on it.

id look into the JMF manifold as mentioned earlier, great shop and i have seen these manifolds in person so i know how nice they are
. personally i just swapped a cracked megan manifold on my old turbo for a stock ported/coated manifold on my bbk. the shearer manifold looks really sweet too, even though its only been tested once, his stuff is just plain sick.

thanks for the props guys, glad you are all happy with your Full-Race manifolds.

if you are near Wall, NJ we have some manifolds you can check out if you would like to see... no custom manifold will come close
