haha stock...thats why i said td04???
And yes i know they run from the block to the turbo...
I stated i was running 15g's in my first post so you should automatically assumed i was keeping my stock manifolds when i said i was getting them ceramic coated
well, you see, that's why I was confused.
your doing all this upgrading, (none of it cheap, apparently) and you keep the stock manifolds, but get them ceramicoated...
The front manifold
will crack when you run it hard. Infact, I'm suprised you didn't have to weld the cracks up already.
Mine was cracked all the way around the second runner, and half-way around the third. But don't take my word for it, ask Jon. It's on his car now. I'm not saying they don't work (for 12 ~ 14 psi), but if you do decide to puch your 15Gs to the limit (which maybe isn't your intention, in which case never mind about any of this
) your gonna crack them.
There are a few headers out there as far as I know. the ssautochrome ones, which everyone seems to love to hate. The DNP ones, which the engine has to be out of the car to put on (hence why I asked) and there is always the custom option.
The rear manifold is decent, but coating the front one, I just haven't seen alot of people doing that...
But just from someone who has been where you are, before getting them coated, check the front manifold for cracks.
