You might find that with the restriction removed, the stock manifold performs just as well as any aftermarket one.

Did you have any issue with it leaking/cracking or securing the turbo to it? I think I have my stock one kicking around and I might put it back on as my stainless one is rapidly fucking itself.
I ran a ported one for quite awhile.
Self-port ftw!
Regarding all these talks about mild steel and stainless steel.
My question is, a s/s mani made from 321 or mild steel?
Which one is better in terms of NOT cracking?
Which would be better suited for heat wrapping? [heard s/s crack if heat wrapped?]
Kindly share your views.
Thanks.

Also, I've just updated this post with a link back to this topic as it contains some useful information.
Mild steel rusts and doesn't look as nice as stainless after a while. Heatwrapping will keep it looking tidier. Still, I'd rather a rusty looking mild steel mani that's over a year old than a cracked stainless one sat in the garage because I've replaced it. Again.Thanks for the reply.
Is there anyone here who had a cracked s/s mani when heatwrapped?
What are the disadvantages of using a m/s compared to a s/s one?
Yarp. Dane's manifold is the only one that I know of on the market at the moment and he's offering a 1yr guarantee with it. Seems a decent bet to me.So,m/s it is then?

i got an oem manifold and ported it slightly (took way too long just to get a bit off!)
