[Mk2] [Turbo] s/s manifolds?

Post by steelyblue »

Ive been looking at manifolds for sale recently and noticed there are tonnes of them for sale at various prices. is there any in particular that should be avoided and ones that are actually worth a purchase? My car is a 95' Gt spec turbo, i know the mani's vary by which model you have so can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help given

dont bother

the pro's dont outway the con's. and there will be con's, crappy fitment, constantly cracking, not properly designed etc.

stick to the oem manifold, assuming your talking about exhaust manifolds.

Thanks for the reply. theres bound to be a good aftermarket s/s exhaust mani out there though? I wouldnt be after a cheap ebay one. maybe a berk mani is available or something like that?

As said, not worth doing until you go for a much larger turbo. Decent makes to consider:
