Buschur ported or Invidia mani

I'm looking into keeping my Buschur ported and coated mani or buying the Invidia Manifold that bolts to the stock setup. I'm leaning towards keeping my buschur but don't know much about the Invidia mani. (How much power was made from it, issues...etc) I wanted to get some info from you guys about this. Any input would be helpful.

Read my thread on Megan manifold problems. Same applies here. Stick with the Buschur ported. I was all gung ho on my Megan until I removed it and realized it was cracked on the inside which you'd never see and also on the outside. It was killing my power. Unless your on a big turbo, stick with a buschur ported.

The invidia is thicker piping. If you did your research you would have known megan's cracked. The invidia looks like a great design. Nobody that I know runs it because it is so much money. Their are a couple manifolds that do better than a ported stocker.

LOL-research... Yeah, ok. Whatever you say. You telling me that is just funny. I'm one of the fastest guys on a stock turbo so I probably know a thing or two and have done a little research It came on the car when I bought it used I never had an issue with it until recently and was just relaying the message. I'm actually going to buy a BR ported this week and the car is going back on a dyno and we'll see what happens. My opinion still stands, unless you are running a big turbo the headers are not going to provide any or much gain for the PRICE over a BR ported stocker. If these other so called mani's your talking about are so much better than the stocker, why are all the fastest PR cars running stock/ported with greens and stock IX turbo's??? There are two nice aftermarket equal length manis and they are both $1k. Those are the only ones that are even worth buying... Again, it is just my opinion. Your the one that might want to do a little research as your mutt mod list is ridiculous and probably why you only run 11.8@116....

If you supply the core, ported and coated is $195

If you have them supply the core, you pay $350 and then when you send them back your stocker, they refund you the difference.

I already have mine though. I bought it straight up because mine is my daily driver.
