eBay Exhaust Manifold - Stock Flange

[AjWit]

Hey guys my 1G exhaust manifold has finally cracked, i was going to get a 2g one but it seems like they are all $70+ after shipping. I found a Stainless steel td05 flanged manifold on eBay for $127, free shipping. Not only will it fix my cracked one, it looks alot nicer than the stock ones. I have a stock 14b and stock o2 housing. My real question is, do you think it will flow as good as if not better than the stock 1G manifold? Thank you.

It will definitely flow better than your stock manifold. Some people have had issues with ebay mani's cracking, but I'll let someone with personal experience comment on that.

I had just changed my ebay mani over to a DNP mani. The ebay mani would flow better than your stock one, I have had my mani on for a few months now and there are no cracks in it. If money is a problem I would go with that ebay mani until you can get a better one. For looks, it looks good for the moment until it starts to turn a rusted ugly ass brown .

You can always get it, and weld some sort of support for it.

how has the part been treating you so far. And what kind of gains did you see from switching to this mani?? Im interested to see how its performing

It would really improve air flow. Just keep it clean so it doesnt go sh!t colored.

Pass on the budget tubular manifolds for a daily driver. I recommend an Evo3 manifold or ported 2g. Both flow enough that people have been able to run 10's through them.

The ebay mani would flow better than your stock one,

It would really improve air flow.

Proof please.

if these things do improve airflow is there a way for someone to find out by how much? Id like to see some numbers when compared to stock so we can see just how well they work for being an ebay part
