after market manifold? to be or not to be!

[tazgtr]

Hey all,

I am new to this forum and I live in Tassie

I have a question

I own a r32 gtr v-spec with n1 factory turbo's

I am considering buying a manifold set up for it and want to know the advantages of fitting these

I can get some nice stainless ones which will bolt up to stock mounts and turbo's

I am mainly wanting to use my car as a club day car and want to run 8psi on track max

with manifolds are twin 3" dump's into single 4" system

What will be the advantages?

Will it make my currently sweet sounding car sound shat?

Cheers!

Unless made perfectly, aftermarket manifolds can INCREASE Lag quite significantly. Just keep that in mind before you purchase.

These look pretty good and are a lot cheaper than the ones I have seen for sale in Aust (about $600) anyone know of better or cheaper ones?

I think for what you are trying to achive it is a waste of money. If you were running some crazy split pulse turbo, then you set up your manifold to suit to blah blah blah then yeah, worth the money.

But if your only going to run 8psi, and worry about it changing the sound of the existing exaust, I dont think its worth it.

They look the same as we have on our car,doing the manifolds and dump pipes was one of the first mods we did.the power on the dyno went in a perfect diagonal line up.

also the seller said he will not ship internationally down the bottom of the page.

if you can get them cheap get them.
