Hey guys and galls, i recently purchased an 03 evo 8 and heres my dilema the car came with a "magnaflow" exhaust manifold which sounds like is leaking is it worth it to get it fixed or just put the oem back on? My car has a few other mods such as ams intercooler kit, bc 272 cams, megan o2 housing, 3 inch exhaust. Should i leave it and get it fixed or go oem?

 

get the oem ported before you put it back on!

 

thats what i figured i would do before i got it put back on

 

Def get a ported stock manifold...

 

"Magnaflow" doesnt make a manifold btw...just fyi. I would just get the cracks welded up if they arent that bad, or just do a ported stocker/stocker.

 

Port an OEM manifold. Many good vendors do them for a relatively inexpensive price such as Buschur, PPI, MAP, etc.

 

Thanks for the info guys I don't know what manifold it is because iv personally never seen a magnaflow manifold before but I'm going with the stock manifold ported thanks for all the tips

 

True. Magnaflow does not make a header for our cars. I agree with everyone else...Having your stock manifold ported is definitely your best bet.

 

well previous owner replied my text saying its a borla manifold i didnt know they even made manifolds heres what it looks like

 

If you dont want the borla just send it ower this way! I will take the time to get it fixed up. BTW, borla offers a million mile warranty so you could get your buddy who bought it to send it back and get a repair or replacement for free.
