Which Manifold?

[BoostNV]

Hello,

I am looking to change my exhaust manifold and I was curious what everyone recommends? I plan to upgrade to a 20g later this year if that will influence which one I should select. Thanks in advance

just port your stock one ... if you really want spend the money on an equal length but the stock one is plenty airflow.

Ported 2G manifold or ported EVO manifold should be fine.

If you want to reduce spool up increase off boost response and flow like crazy up top. An equal length header is what you want. A ported 2G or evo manifold will work. However without ever trying something different like most have not. how can you give an accurate recommendation?

To date all the impressions of the dnperformance.com header have been very positive no cracking..ect

If you have the cash, then I would go for the DNP... JDM - what was the cost after the JetHot coating for the manifold?

 

[jdmawd]

Im not sure if dnp offers the jet coating through them. I think the cost for the manifold was $110

Did it really make a noticable difference with spool? Better transient response or the same? Thanks

There is only one other person that I know of that post on dsm boards that has the same turbo as I do. He has a 2G main and I have the dnp.His turbo spools at 3800 and mine spools at 3400.
