exhaust manifold designs, getting mine redone Options

[easternpiro1]

hey all, been researching good designs for an exhaust manifold. if some of you dont know, there have been issues with my exhaust manifold from day one and essentially i wasnt happy with its design and quality, (is currently leaking from the flange near the turbo, and wastegate off one runner)so like lagos says: do half assed once do it right the 2nd time.

i will stop there or else i will start a rant. but anyway, anybody got some decent design pics? i want a tubular equal length header , of course with w/g coming from where all 4 runners converge. I got a few ideas from tweak and Pitcelica and a few others.

here's some that i like:

here is a pic of how its currently set up,

I agree with the stock 3rd gen manifold + adapter. Port the stock manifold, coat it with some ceramic coating for the look and function, and ask those guys to modify your downpipe to make it fit with the new manifold/turbo location.

Unless you really want that bling-bling style of ss manifold, the stock manifold has no disadvantage vs ss manifold. You'll not notice any performance gain.
