ehhh megan products are "okay" but you definitely get what you pay for. You are looking for a tubo manifold correct? there are TONS of options out there, just search and you will find many threads. however, if your budget is 400 bucks, your best bet is a) buy used b) get a ported and coated stocker from someone like PPI or c) save up to buy a quality mani so you have less of a chance of cracking. gl with your search bud

Alright cool!! Thanks for the list!!! Another question would it be better to Install the manni here before I get the tune and run it?? My tuners about 2-3 hours away or should I try to install it there??? Its probably bad but I've been running all my parts installed for about 2 years without a tune on it yet.. I got my car used =\ is that gonna destroy my car in the long run?? Or will it be okay after the tune?? Thanks!!!

installing mods on your car without a tune will not do anything just your car will not be optimized so you will not be getting the full benifit of the part you add. the only thing you cant add without a immediate tune would be injectors, cams as they will change your idle and fuel delivery so those need to be installed then tuned immediately. other parts exhaust bov manifold turbo etc you can put on and tune later again you just will not be getting the full benifit of those parts.

Oh alright cool!! That helps very much!!! But if I have those parts on there for a while will it diminish what I could be gettin out of them in turn instead if I had newer parts on?? Will I still be getting the full benefit out of the parts i have on most likely after the tune still??

unless you damage them or have a boost leak you will be fine
