MAP Manifold: ported stocker vs tubular

can't decide between the two. Looking for a manifold to compliment my HTA Green going on soon. This my daily driver. Haven't had much luck finding any results on the newer MAP Tubualr manifold for a EVO VIII/IX. Any experiences/suggestions?

For a daily-driver I suggest sticking with a ported stock cast manifold with ceramic coating and heatshield. Just my 2-cents

I personally would keep the OEM mani and get it ported/coated.

Being able to use the factory heat shields is a huge plus for me. Especially in a DD, the lower underhood temps are nice. You'll save some money going that route also.

MAP doesn't make that new tube manifold they sell, so I would wait for some long-term feedback on it (possible cracking).
