Alright, so the stock exhaust manifold is s*** and looks ugly! New flash right? Well its time for some new ones. I want to know what your experiences are with different headers.

Ive seen several pieces, Borla, Megan, DNP, DC Sports, HAFE etc. If you've looked at them, they range from $250 (Megan's which i heard suck) to Borla which is at $730, and everywhere in betwen ($400-$600).

I just want to know what everyone's experiences are and what you would recommend. Obviously spending as little cash as possible for a quality part is the goal.

Thanks guys,

some of the manifolds you listed are for t3 turbos.

what turbo are you running?

a ported stock exhaust manifold is by far your best bang for the buck but full race makes a stock replacement thats bad a$$ and probably the best you can get but it cost a grand

For stock turbo I think this looks pretty good, a little extra work on the stocker can have it look pretty custom. Only through PPI



The full race is a nice piece for a stock turbo if its in your price range.

is porting and coating the stock manifold going to give me a decent horsepower gains like an aftermarket one would?

Yes, stick with a nice ported/coated stock manifold. If you can afford an aftermarket tubular manifold for the stock turbo, then "Full Race" would be another option. Is it necessary? No, the stocker is more than enough to get the job done on the stock turbo.
