hey everyone i now have a cracked exhaust manifold and am gonna buy an after market one opposed to a stock GS-R one. I'm just looking for some feed back on what's good and what's bad, what gains the most power etc... thanks

 

I have a DC 4-2-1 ceramic

Will be going with a Whitfieldracing or SMSP in the future.

 

this one....

 

this one....

 

also running a ceramic dc 4-2-1. if i had the choice, and money, it'd be a custom smsp or hytech.

 

then = jg edelbrock

now = peakboost ftw

W00t!!

 

it depends a lot on your price range.

Yeah, mine came with the car, I'm just waiting to do my build before I buy a good header.

 

Comptech 4-2-1 SS

Only like it because its CARB legal and living in CA blows when it comes to getting pulled over

 

Mugen 4-2-1 Gymkana $$$$

mine came with the car too. it does the job for now.

 

i started a header thread concering ground clearance. ground clearance was the most important factor to me in purchasing a header. hope it helps.

I have the same one... it sucks and keeps cracking.
Im gonna go turbo in a few months, so that's my replacement.

 

look for a nice jdm itr 4-1 in the classefieds. theyre not the best performance, but they give you a small benefit, look nice, and you can put heat shields on it if you like.

It is a CCFab T3 Topmount. I have no AC or PS....yes the turbo heatsoaks...they all do to an extent, but it does make good power
