I just bought a Garrett 2871R turbo for my CA. I do not like the stock manifold and am looking into buying an aftermarket one. Which ones do you guys like or dislike and why. Will it improve power? Thanks!

the new SSAC manifolds are not bad, i jsut think the various fitment issues is the latest problem, it will increase power, and ith the right support/flex pipe it shouldnt crack on you.

Yeah I was planning on bracing them better. Thanks for the help guys. I just cant believe how small and restrictive the stock one is.

I'm at about a year on my SSAC mani and it's still doing great. I've had it on and off the car about 4 times as well. I'm running a flex test pipe. I don't know how much difference it makes, but I'm doing it anyway.

has anyone heard of XForce manifolds. I think from Australia?

Also how would you know if someone is sending u the newer ssautochrome manifolds?

I had purchased one a while back and after making a good inspection, turned it into scrap metal. I figured wats the point of me putting it on only for it to break and me have to take it off again.

I was planning on having my stock manifold, gutted out, than smoothly port the runners than have it jethot coated. i know people making over 400whp on completely stock manifolds, they cant be that bad. And there free when you buy a swap.
