Newly added to is the Omega Exhaust manifold produced by Fortune-Auto. Its $899 on sale now for $799. Looks like a manifold. They have dyno tested with results posted on their thread.

Full-Race http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=1018
Mona Lisa https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ve...-manifold.html
Shearer http://shearerfabrications.com/products.php?itemid=159

3 different prices and 3 different gains (depends on mods)
ALL have good looks, but what is more important should be effectiveness.

Full-race seems to have the best application for mid-range power
Mona lisa seems to have best pricing
Shearer seems to have highest peak gains

Don't get me wrong, I only pointed out 1 key aspect that was very different from the others. ALL of them are great manifolds that should be added down the line when the basic mods are completed.

On another note, I would stick to the ported stock manifold (coated is optional) IF you are not moderately modded or putting down "high hp" and then jump to one of the above when ready to save yourself time, money and effort.
If you went through the thread you would of seen the links already for several of them.

There are quite a few guys running them now, all showing gain.. Only one has posted a reliable before and after. Unfortunately my guinea pig car is having a couple drivetrain problems, but hopefully he'll have it fixed soon so i can post another before and after.

Cheers!

think the best two are JMFAB and Shearer. none of the other ones come close look wise or performance wise really if your not going for looks just get it ported and call it a day till you go bigger turbo

They crack! Don't waste your money. Pay the extra money for a better manifold to get double the gains and quality. Just a fact...

Looking at some of these pics I would look into a radiator that would relocate the upper hose further away from the manifold.
