5kT exhaust manifolds

[TM]

Ameer,
Search the archives- very recently we had a long discussion about the
pros/cons of the various EMs for the 10v turbo motor, fitment issues,
cracking, etc.

We also had a discussion about tubular headers, but that was several months
ago- you can get a tubular equal-length header from Dahlback for around
$900US, IIRC, also requires relocation of the airbox, metering head, etc.

Taka

So i have to admit, I never really paid attention to all the talk about
exhaust manifolds, but mine looks cracked in a few places. There's white
oxidized spots where the exhaust was leaking out. So what are my options,
within a budget? I've heard of 1-piece, 2-piece and dialynx. What are the
pro's and con's? How bout headers? Anyone make em or anyone know how much
it would be to make? I guess w/ headers, you'd prolly have to replace them
eventually too, since the material is thinner...Thanks in advance.
