Default So no one thinks its a problem to keep my existing stock manifolds?
Thoughts of deteriorating manifolds like this poor guy's keep me awake at night. Pic stolen from q2quest's picture poster.

Jeez! Does that mean metal chunks are breaking off and going through the turbos?

Default I'd just go with stockers and swaintech through Piggie...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/42872/ex._manis.jpg"></center><p>I didn't get the welds ground down cuz I was told it didn't make that much difference. I bought a spare set of mani's for too much and sent them to swaintech myself. Piggie could have got them cheaper, but he didn't get back to me in time so I had to pay a little more. Do the swain though! The under hood temps drop considerably.

Default <gasp> the horror! </gasp>
Actually that was the pic I was looking for... This is why I'm worried (bordering on paranoia).
