Tubular manifold

[boostedtsi0069]

Hey guys i was looking on ebay and ive seen some tubular manifolds, but they all say t3 flange. Will this fit with my 14b, and if not where can i find one. (links) Thanks.

No it will not, you wont really find one but they do make them. Why do you want to go tubular. A stock 2g mani will be fine up to 500whp. Plus tubulars can crack on you. You dont want that if this is a DD. With no mods on your list I would spend the money elsewhere.

the real reason i want it is because it looks nice i want to make my engine bay nice

I have a tubular minifold from xsengineering i got it off ebay and i'v had it for awhile now with no problems. It does make you engine bay look a lil more aggressive, just like jayrolla said the stock one is fine for around 500 hp. Althouth it doesn't look as nice.

If you get a tubular don't wrap it or it wil crack even sooner


Good luck on your decision

If I was you I would just go with a ported cast evo mani or 2g mani. Its not worth the money or pain if it cracks just to make the bay look good.

IF you do get one.. Make sure it is aquality brand like DNP...look at some of the better brands on SlowBoy Racing. My friend got one of the XSpower/SSautochrome/JDMenginez (all about the same parts) off eBay, it lasted for a good 800 miles...then came a big crack in the flange that comes off the collector. It was thin metal with kinda shotty welds. I think DNP's have a lifetime warranty. 1+

YES listen to white92tsiawd. Some will last and some wont. Your looking at 400+ for a quality piece.

Well i guess it a luck of the draw on the xspower products, i have had mine close to a year no problems. And about 4 other friends i run with have the same xspower header with no problems.

If your buddies was thin then he got a bad one mine is pretty think, and the flange is thick as well.


sorry about the double pic, LoL
