Default Does a different exhaust manifold can give whp ???

For example : does the sst manifold from Lovefab could give hp compared to a well built log style manifold ??? Here I dont talk about 3 to 5 hp but major improvement... Because im looking for a manifold but im on a limited budget but I hate to bought something and regret after the move .... I know that the SST is so nice but does a well built log style manifold could do the same job...

or the biggest point is the look and the quality of the product and also a fact of fitting the turbo ....

I did a search but cant find the awnser ???

yes you can get noticiable and usable improvements by switching to a manifold with a better design.

with more boost, you will see bigger gains. such as 50 whp at around 25+psi compared to say 20whp at 15psi. (im just throwing out numbers)

at 6 psi or so, youll notice alot of tq gains across the lower RPM, along with decreased spool time. Up top though, you wont notice too much(5-maybe 10whp). LIke people have said, toss some more boost/power at it, then it will start to shine!
