Hi I'm new here, I don't know much for now about the 3s-gte but I'd like to change the stock exhaust manifold for a nice customs one. I looked on ebay and on the forum here to get what I really need, I usually always get one who fits for the ct26 Turbo.. but I know I have a CT20, All I see is the mr2 kit sw20. Plase I need some help here, i'm not a big mecanic guy. Still want to know more thougt Thank you !

Don't think its worth doing or the money if your only reason is only for looks. Also chances are other things will need to be done as its out of factory alignment/location.

Ok, I dont want to do this only for the look, I'd like to put some money in the engine too, but if you guys think its too expensive and doesnt worth it, ill just pass that part

The ebay ones usually crack faster vs oem. Polished for looks not for durability.

As far as gains go... I dont know what the ho gain would be.

If you want to put some money into your 3sgte. I would suggest to upgrade your injectors and get it tuned for e85.
That would be the route i would take.

converting to E85 is not something you can do easily, you need to change the fuel pump, injectors and fuel lines. you need a larger fuel rail probably and a new fuel pressure regulator. thats about 1000 bucks right there.

Stock manifold is pretty solid up to 400hp. There are a few manifolds online but you'll pay for a good one. Like rusty said, additional modifications will need to be done to get most to work.

Check out full race, racerx, doc?, or koracing. There are a few options and most are 1k+.

Thank you everyone for the fast reply, I appreciate I'll just keep the Stock one

I know. Upgrade fuel system. Its a good start if you are planning to build further down the line. Plus e85 will give you a good boost on trq.
