Opinions on exhaust manifolds?

[AMassaro]

When I get my turbo (Silver62) I am probably going to swap out the stock exhaust manifold for something better. Any opinions on which brand is the best? Flows the best, highest quality, etc... ? Prices?

I can't help you on "what brand is the best", but almost any aftermarket one from ATS, BD, HTT, or some other well known vendor is going to be better than stock. I chose ATS and noticed an immediate improvement with just the stock charger.

I originally planned on ats with their aurora 2000 turbo then upgrade in the future to their compounds. Then I did more research and found out that the compound turbo kit from ats has its own special exhaust manifold and I would be saving money if i just jumped to what I want the first time. Therefore I will be saving over 500 if I just buy the compounds right from the get go compared to upgrading the kit later on. I trust ATS as they are more race proven then the other guys. My vote is for ATS but its up to you to decide on whats best for you.
