It should help low end torque a little, but only if its tuned as such, where it will help a little (assuming the tubular manifold is high-temp coated) is exhaust velocity and expanding gasses should lower the spool RPM's slightly, that in turn should boost power a little at lower RPM..

I kept the factory exhaust manifold. I have ported, polished, and ceramic coated it. Just another option for those who don't want the header. Check it out here: http://users2.ev1.net/~subaru/evo_web/evo_exhaust.htm

Quick question, I actually just ordered the DNP manifold from Lancer Shop as well as a few other things, Studs, injectors etc. But Im not upgradng my O2 housing quite yet. Would that be any kind of problem not upgrading the O2 while upgrading to a tubular manifold?? Most people Ive talked to personally say no problem but I sa this thread and figured to throw it out there......

You will not have any kind of problems with the stock O2 housing. You could get a slight improvement going with an aftermarket one, or even porting the stock one but neither are neccessary. The stock piece is very good...

In a turbo engine, in comparison to normally aspirated, the shorter path and retention of heat energy is much more important than the theoretically ideal length of the manifold with regard to gasflow interference.

The way I understand it:
Smaller runners increase exhaust gas velocity and will increase low-end torque and help the turbo spool faster, but becomes a restriction at higher RPM's.
Larger runners decrease the exhasut gas velocity hindering low-end torque and causes the turbo to spool a little slower but increases the high RPM power...

well i have run the JIC manifold for about 10k miles of hard canyon driving and the hot cali heat to boot and i have had no problems with it at all exept i went with a gt35r and a RnR equal length tubular manifold = X if anyone is looking for a JIC headers with 2000 degree thermal coating lemme know = )

2.4 bar held on a stock manifold !!! also apt kit here in the uk well over 500hp so far !
i have fitted so many stainless manifolds NONE have ever lasted more than a couple of months before cracking even the HKS kits CRACK !!!!!!! save money and stay stock !!!!! as all my customers do
