SS or megan for the stocker, because of the price, "they will crack for sure", but the manifold will help spool up and help throughout the powerband, I say ride around with the stock manifold in the trunk and tools for an emergency lol.. U can get one for $195 plus Shipping on Ebay.

Or u can go with a $1500 HKS manifold which will probably crack too.


RnR Racing Should start selling a manifold for the stocker, Their manifolds are a work of art.
I say we bug em till its done

If interested I can provide you with their info. They could last a couple of years, On a friends gst with SFP manifold the wastegate piece cracked off the manifold, in the middle of i75 however that same manifold went trhough 3 different cars and got a lot of punishment.
