Is a new exhaust manifold worth it?

[RedGSX21]

I have been lookin into a new exhaust manifold for my 2g and was wonderin if they are worth the money. I know that exhaust manifolds were popular in the older muscle cars but are they really that great for these turbo charged dsm's?

You have a 2nd gen dsm, just take yours off and port it. If you dont have the resourses to do so, and its your dd, then go for a evo3/sbr/gt manifold. They are all good and dont really require porting.

What are your horsepower goals? It has been shown that an exhaust manifold upgrade is not worth the costs and install time for medium and low horsepower builds. Stock 2g manis have taken cars into the 10s.
