might be picking up a xs tubular manifold. just looking for any reviews on it : any problems with cracking, overall quality, better or just the same as a ported stocker?

 

XS Power manifold. Don't do it, port the stocker and save the headache. It will crack in time for sure

 

cuz on the webiste it says that there product will not crack. i no most of the time its bs tho

 

ported stock mani is more efficient. bunch of threads with logs supporting that too. just search a little

 

after some decent heat cycles and enough time, itll likely crack for a couple reasons. a big heavy turbo weighing off the mani, thinner materials, and no bracing being the culpits. even some better brand name tubular mani's CAN crack, however if you were weld some extra bracing on id imagine youd be alright for a while. we've seen dnp mani's warped from enough abuse

im not sure how a ported stock mani compares but a tubular mani always looks appealing under the hood.

 

so pretty much stock manifold ported is the best. I dont wanna just throw away many for a manifold to crack on me. thanks for the info
