new manifold

[Aggie 08]

My current manifold on my 97 GT is leaking anti-freeze really bad, and the shop told me I would have to get a new one to stop the leak, anyways, I was looking around at prices and saw a few performance manifolds that say they give you up to 20 more hps. So I was wondering if anyone here has any experince with these or knows of any good brands that are less expensive. Thanks.

Just get a stock one, they are $150 and you can install it yourself.

The aftermarket ones will hurt a stock car without serious head/cam work or at least forced induction..The OEM piece is actually pretty good flowing, and the plastic is good for heat convection..just weak for backfires or insane boost.

Time for a P-51

You could consider a PI intake manifold as well

It takes a bit of modification (RTV to seal it up) though will give you a performance gain.

Karkraft had them for cheap and likely still do

Thanks for the input guys, i'll prolly just get a stock one just to be safe, and save a few bucks.
