I am looking to buy a new exhaust manifold and turbo elbow for my sr, and I have no idea what to get. Can you guys tell me what you have tried or would recommend for me and nothing to expensive either, but not cheap like some e bay crap either. Thanks...

I have yet to see a quality exhaust mani not cost an arm and a leg for our cars. Your options typically are ebay quality or really expensive.

But to be honest, I don't see the need to upgrade the log mani unless you absolutely must have that bling factor. For what most SRs are used, the gains from the tubular manifolds just don't justify the cost.

I personally think this is a good option if you're looking to get a turbo elbow. It incorporates the O2 housing with the downpipe.http://storesense.megawebserve...l.bok

And you can find a ton of OBX/Megan racing O2 housings on ebay. I typically try to stray away from their products. The ebay specials tend to have low quality control, so you see a lot of weird fitment issues from piece to piece. I've seen them slip on perfectly, I've seen them need to be heated up and beaten on for clearance. But it's tight in there to begin with, and you're trying to add a larger outlet, expect to run into some funky things.

that is for the emissions crap which pretty much everyone gets rid of. youll need to buy a plug for it. i think enjunku sells it. its only a couple of bucks.

red top-skinnyblacktop-fat, you just need to buy the fat o2 sensor.

Megan Racing makes a good one. I just recommend getting it Jetcoated
