Am seriously considering a tubular stainless steel exhaust manifold for the GT-FOUR. Not just pure bling, but will help the turbo spin up a bit quicker too. It's on a local auction site (like eBay) so will see how the bidding goes.
It's the manifold from this pic I'm after as I already have a custom made downpipe   Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come.... GT-Four spec list |

yeah i hear it dosnt fit the water to air IC.
i would get that myself, but i think it will get in the way of my intercooler piping. i have the downpipe tho..just not installed yet. This post has been edited by lagos: Apr 21, 2005 - 12:00 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

yes, they are prone to cracking, i am not a fan of that design, IMO you can get much better flow doing a custom one yourself through a performance shop after just getting a flange. however i do have that downpipe which comes with a mounting bracket and mounting hardware and must say the quality of the piece is very nice. i ordered mine through chicoraceworks who is a MR2OC vendor, i highly recommend josh and his operation he's got going on over there.
