Hey Scott , im Chris i met you a couple of times, i had a 33 sedan.I think your best bet would to go a steam pipe custom manifold ( i had one on my car)The stainless ones seem to be weak, and doesnt last as long and other various reasons.And for your dump pipe same deal get who ever makes your manifold get them to make you a dump pipe depending on what turbo you are running.

Hey thanks for your reply Chris, your username is familiar but cant put a face to it. Been that long since ive driven the car (just got painted etc, been nearly year since its been out). Thanks for your input, steam pipe seems definately the way to go. What price you looking at for steam pipe? With the stainless are they all not worthy or is there some decent value for money ones?

Noticed you said had the sedan. Remember seeing it up for sale i believe, hope you got decent price!!!! Was very nice car, I am trying to sell my wifes 33 sedan but at the price they are going for, looks like its worth more to us to keep it!!

as was said before get a custom made one from steam pipe, the big issues with stainless is that all of the cheaper ones are made from thin steel which cracks, also the way a turbo works in regards to spool up is that it requires air flow and heat to make the turbo spin up, so you may find that with a stainless manifold you will loose soem response from the turbo as stainless is no good at retaining heat

My stock manifold is working well with my 3076R turbo

yes it does happen.. my 180 has a SS bunch of bananas no cracking. it depends on what reinforcment has been welded onto the manifold. bracing is essential. also due to the thinner walls on SS it loses heat quicker than a cast or steam pipe. still good.. steam pipe is a good option mate.. but exy

Bragging are we andy..??? lol

also in regards to dump pipes.. i like to use SS split dumps that preferable merge below at the elbow.. R334door im pretty sure u have one like that cause i was looking under ur car when doin ur FMIC and thought thats a neat bit of kit.

I hear the hks cast ones are a good unit. I am looking around for one at the moment, there is also the option to get your stock one extrude honed.

Yeah I love bragging its my style

Just saying that the stock manifold isnt as crap as every one thinks it is, I wouldnt bother changing it unless the turbo didnt physically fit anymore

And as Dano said look to HKS Cast or extrude honing (pending turbo size), both flow around 20% more than stock
