JamieP Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Boostlogic, HKS, you could try one of Paul Wiffins new manifolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 My Boost Logic has been good as gold for the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Personally speaking Boostlogic every time, never had a problem. My BL cracked twice, swapped it for a cast manifold, much neater and the spool is much, much better, and throttle response is also far superior. I would never use a tubular again! I saw no upper end power loss either, as that has been mentioned about cast, but sub 700hp, I don't see it as an issue at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Boostlogic for me too. Ive had mine for years now. I probably do less than 10,000 miles a year but a lot of these miles are covered with a heavy right foot!It still has the same colour of powder coat it had when it was new. Kean at Boostlogic is a nice guy and will help most people out if he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 OBX manifold is also a good option.Got one fitted and never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 My HKS manifold cracked twice, I would go BL for the mani and HKS for the Turbo IF I was to ever do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The Full Race manifolds look very good, nice quality etc. http://www.full-race.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=839_872_893_895&products_id=53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 i have a tubular manifold but i have come to the conclusion unless you are looking for 650+ hp they are an expensive waste of time, go for a cast manifold and as allready mentioned you will also gain better spool, i have a Treadstone Performance one sat in the garage waiting to go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Greddy on mine HKS on matt k's and Whiffin one one on MattC's, none have cracked and matt's has been a daily driver for nearly 2 years. Personally i think the Tubulars sound far superior than the cast as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It doesn't matter what tube manifold you buy, if the exhaust system and manifold plus turbo are not adequately braced and supported, they will eventually crack from fatigue, stainless is very prone to fatigue fractures, more so than mild steel, but both will crack when subject to excess vibration/stress. Cast will put up with a lot more abuse thats why manufactures use it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) cast, cast, cast... lol i have had both and rate them on performance as well as durability... they are also smaller and less of a heat radiator... put your foot down at 2000 on a tubular and nothing happens, on a cast power starts to bite and it makes for a much better car..

paul mac Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sounds poo though. did you seriously base a tuning decision on noise or was it just a case of going for the HKS badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ive not gone down the whole single route as quite frankly cant be bothered with the hassle and expense that is sometimes involved. However I did at one point have most of the parts for a single conversion which included arnouts manifold and associated wastegate flanges and fittings and re-routed pipe for the wastegate to feed back into the exhaust. I personally dont see there being much difference between the two manifolds and for me, the extra durability of the cast manifold sold it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 did you seriously base a tuning decision on noise or was it just a case of going for the HKS badge No I bought a full HKS kit which seems to have not let me down unlike some of the others on here that have gone for cheaper options.

Ian C Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Another vote for the BL manifold here simply because it hasn't cracked (after about 4 years) and is well constructed. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
