Just do a stock ported manifold and it will be better. I have seen cars lose power from those manifolds they are ****.

Don't buy one. i regret getting one. It cracked in less than a year, got it welded and it cracked again. Now I'm using my ported stock mani. The Megan manifold is a great paper weight tho imo...

That looks like it's about to crack...

Are those mani (like megan) is cheaper than ported stock mani?

Toxicfab manifolds are ridiculous! and less than a grand... that would be my direction personally.

Toxicfab manifolds aren't any better than the map long runner or the fullrace manifolds, I have had both the quality is the same, I prefer the the map lr because of the ss flanges and semi polished finish for $825 best value for a top quality manifold imo, plus curt brown uses it and if it doesn't make power he won't run it.

Just like everyone else will tell you, Megan or any of those eBay brand manifolds will crack. They seem to have the same runner design too just not all the same name.

I've read some people don't even bother with a high end manifold until you are 500hp+

Having your stock one ported and coated isn't too bad or you can find a polished heatshield to cover the... rugged look.
