Sup guys. The basic question is, what are the pros of getting rid of my stock exhaust manifold and replacing it with a stainless steel tubular manifold.
Opinions from all are welcome. |

Not only does it increase airlflow, but airflow decreases backpressure created by a more restrictive manifold. Smaller, more restrictive manifolds(stock) create backpressure on the turbine wheel of the turbo causing decreased boost pressure by not allowing the wheel to spin as fast. A bigger turbo and manifold would be a significant upgrade. Not needing a manifold until 400hp is incorrect. If you have any manifold that is restricting, you are losing hp. And they are not prone to cracking. They CAN crack if it's a piece of garbage. For instance, some of the civic manifolds tend to crack that are made by generic manufactures.
