best exhaust manifold?

Hi guys
Just wanted to find out the best manifold for my X

FULLRACE. ETS. AGENCY POWER

Those 3 are on my list also the budget is under 1k$
Any one with those manifolds? Can share some experience?
Thx very much

IIRC isn't it best to get a cast ported out the @$$ exhaust manifold and it works best?..unlike the 8 or 9s you guys are alittle cramped to say the least

Stock ported is ok but you can make much more tha the 5-10 whp that would bring. Full-Race was the best tubular manifold I had bolted to my car and I plan on using one in the future. Once you start moving past the stock turbo a tubular can really make a big difference.

Take that list, remove Agency Power, replace it with MAP, then you'll have a list of three good manifolds.

I agree! I wouldn't put A.P. in the same league as ETS , Full Race , MAP when it comes to built quality and reliability especially when it comes to a manifold that will have to endure an extreme amount of heat over long periods of time depending on your usage.

I didn't think toxicfab had a manifold for the X yet? I would love to see a serious comparison between the tubular designed stock replacment manifolds. I also agree with the others about Agency Power being in a different category from Full Race, ETS & MAP.

I think that sums it up. I got my stocker mani ported by map a few months ago...that thing came back as smooth as glass! Those guys rock.

I have the MAP, owned it for over a year. It's awesome. Make sure you have it ceramic coated. I personally gained over 20 hp and 20 TQ in the midrange. It's well worth the money
