Exhaust Manifold Options

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

My stock 2g manifold has 2 small cracks that I suspect are making my car lose power. My question is.. what are some of the manifold options and how much should I expect to spend? I require a manifold that has the stock flange.

I was thinking of going with the FP manifold, but I don't really want to spend 300 bucks. Are there any similar quality options for a lower price? I also looked at some of the evo III manifolds.. Are they a direct bolt on replacement?

Thanks!

Go Evo 3. Its bolt-on and flows slightly better than the 2g and just short of the FP. I don't think that two small cracks would hurt your performance though.

Here's a classified link with an Evo 3 manifold for sale.

Cheap alternative is to weld the cracks shut. Search the classifieds, there are many options there.

You can usually find used FP manifolds in the classifieds for under $200 shipped.
