Default What do you guys think about the Turbo XS manifold?

I just got on and the kid told me he had his brother (pro welder) re-weld it, he says he herd they leak a lot. Does anyone know about these? and how good they are?

i wouldn't get an obx one or the xs one. get an inline pro stainless cast one (garunteed not to crack) or go to and get there lop manifold kit. 550 bucks for a manifold, dumptube, and downpipe is a great deal. i have this setup on my car and i love it.

stay far away from the cheap ebay ****. i bought one drove it twice and it cracked. had a profesional welder weld it with the right rods, got it back installed it, drove it around the block twice and bam even a bigger crack. honestly xs manifolds and ssautocrap manifolds suck ***. stay away from the turbos also. don't know about the xs ones but bought one brand new, and as fast as the manifold took a **** so did the turbo.
but thats my opinion. it's like an *******, everyones got one.

I think you mean XS Power. Turbo XS is a reputable company.

yeah I found that out last night that it was an XS power, it as already been re-welded but from what you guys are saying it will still crack? I got it with a Garret t3 turbo and all the pipes, greddy blow off (new), front mount (new), down pip and all the lines for $1000.00. But this really sucks if I have to get another manifold.

if you can sell that manifold and get a new one. but the thing with getting a new manifold is you have to get a new down pipe. not too bad if you can do the down pipe yourself if you know a welder.
