ok guys so im going to be buying some new parts for my SR but i was wondering what exhaust manifold would you guys go with? I know theres alot of brands out there but what would you go with?

AsleepAltima · 06-08-2012, 08:21 PM

i went with a tubular no name brand for mine and im happy with it, for the most part, but someone whos opinion i regard highly (cody ace) says that the stock cast manifold is your best bet.

WindyCity · 06-09-2012, 12:03 AM

i would imagine the best bang for the buck would be either ISIS or Megan. i have a megan and its cool. ryan tuerck ran ISIS on his SR

Peak boost, or full race don't waste ur money on anything else

SoCalDrifter · 06-09-2012, 01:18 AM

xh3nry · 06-09-2012, 02:18 AM

We have a Megan 4-1 exhaust manifold, sounds great and it's cheap!

Beat me to it... Find Codyace for details.

But to answer your question, theres no reason to get rid of the stock manifold.

garagespec · 06-11-2012, 10:08 PM

extrude honed stock manifold

*brndck* · 06-11-2012, 10:26 PM

i would go with one that you used the search function to do research on instead of making another redundant thread about.....

OBEEWON · 06-12-2012, 08:41 AM

Unless you are going top mount don't bother changing the manifold. A lot of issues were solved when I went back to stock.

ixfxi · 06-13-2012, 07:24 AM

fuck..... why do people like this need to be local to me?

i have all this anger inside, like i hate all 240 owners.

weird, it didnt used to be like this.

yesterday i saw a dropped s13 driving down the street and i just cringed thinking to myself "i hate you" and i dont even know the guy... couldve been a nice guy. too bad i hate his fucking guts.

i think you should leave your exhaust manifold alone. install an illest sticker or something

SoCalDrifter · 06-13-2012, 11:44 AM

and i think you should shut ur mouth unless u have something helpful to say its people like you that everyone hates im asking a simple qs for help and your over here trying to be funny nice try though

Yeah, he talks a lot of shit, but he has good reason to. I'm sure if you searched either on Zilvia's search or on google, you would have found 15 million threads about this.

Cheap aftermarket tubular manifolds crack, and warp due to the substandard piping / techniques / poor welds. That's why if you're not going top mount, people recommend just staying with the cast iron OEM one.

CodyAce has been talked about a lot in this thread because he's a big advocate of keeping the stock manifold and doing some modifications to help it increase its efficiency and also keep EGT down.

Good luck with your purchase, i hope you find what you're looking for.

Doesn't Tomei make a high quality manifold?
