hey lads and lases was just wondering which would be the best manifold for my b16b with most noticeable differences all suggestions would be grateful :please: :please:
 
With manifolds you get what you pay for really....

Toda are very highly rated but are muchos $$$..

Just dont be taken in that a cheap ebay special will last or be a good bargain...

Stick with OEM until you can afford a Toda is my advice:)
 
Vibrant seems to be regarded as 'best bang for the buck' when it comes to manifolds. I can vouch for that, I've got one myself!!
 
5 zigen are also good, fitted one of these just the other day,

indeed toda are top notch, but i really dont think the extra gains over zigen/vibrant/other good 4-2-1's is worth the difference in £$€, but its your money:nice:
 
I've got import sprungs custom header on Order so wen all fitted will give my input... He put a thread up not long ago off graphs showing a few of the best manifold one of them including the toda and actually produced around 4hp more peak and all through most of the rev range....

Saw that thread over on itr-dc2......looks a good bit of kit, though that test was on a B18!

I was pleased to see how well the OEM JDM 98spec 4-1 works actually. It seems a no brainer that it should be the manifold of choice for us UKDM ITR owners with our restrictive cast manifolds...pleased i chose that route anyhow:)

OEM fit/finish & longevity guaranteed & all for a fraction of the price (S/H) of the big name brands...
 
5zigen are good price plus quality, got one fitted '98 spec dc2 made a good difference plus took the drone out of the exhaurst between 3-4k. :nice:
 
the manifold that would give you the most gains would obviously be an equal length turbo manifold...

Would love to but i think thats a bit pricey just to see gains which may not even be enterley accurate... thats at least £60+ for 2 sessions....

I will get one after its fitted though...
 
Yeah I guess mate.

So many things can change.

Let us know how it feels anyway.
 
try a Feel's manafold, notiveable improvement with the rite exhsust sysyem say a 5zigen or hks highpower decatted. think they retail at just under £1000 i think but dont take my word for it

Dave from SMSP does not even make a header for the b16b, he tells people to buy the TODA!!

Oh yeah forgot about that. he only makes b18. What about hytech, do they make B16 headers? If not then TODA is No.1 :nice::drive:
