i really need a 4g63 16g manifold should i buy a ebay manifold

FP manifold. Problem solved. Ebay items tend to suck the big one. So no, dont buy the Ebay manifold

Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP DSM Race Manifold

here is a link to the one gsxdsmkinggsx is talking about, I agree if you are going to upgrade get this one. It isn't necessary to upgrade the exhaust manifold though, you can port yours and save money to put elsewhere.

beat me to it! I didn't notice your link I guess!

when i got my talon i dident have a manifold

You can always pick up a used 2g manifold here on the classifieds. I wouldn't trust ebay for a manifold, they are prone to cracking!

when i bought my talon it had the evo 3 16g turbo kit w/the manifold. its been on the car for 10k+ and still works wonders. 15lbs daily. im just waiting for it to crap out and ill put an hx35.

Just get a cheap 2g manifold and have it ported or DIY...don't need to spend tons of money unless you'll run crazy lbs of boost IMO

+1 on the 2g manifold. I ordered one from a guy that ported it for me for 80 bucks shipped... not a bad deal

Definitely try to avoid the eBay garbage. Go with a 2G Manifold, or even a FP if you have the extra cash. eBay manifolds are decent, but the metal is garbage. The only eBay manifold i've ever seen hold up was a tubular manifold. 2G Manifold will run you the same price as an eBay one basically.

If i had pictures of my old ebay manifold... they do tend to crack... A LOT.... and in more places than one.... the welds arent quality and the materials used are less than ideal. Sure right now the price looks GREAT!!! but you will end up replacing it sooner than later..might as well spend the moneys on a good manifold or like every one else has said, get a ported 2g...

+1 on the ported 2g manifold. They are proven into the 10's.
