Protege Garage Exhaust Manifold V3 Installed

bump for the excellent write up and back on topic - i was there for the install and it went really smooth.
 
car sounds awesome and pulls hard with this manifold on. thanks for taking pics of my messy garage, justin ;)

i'm finally happy with the manifold. it has all the features i wanted from day one thanks to the factory being willing to work with us. full bracing, smooth collection, smooth runners, built in EGT from the box. it is in my mind the gold standard of turbo manifolds for this platform.

plus, i have ALOT of them in stock :) no waiting!
 
It doesn't change volume so much as tone.

At low rpm the note because more .. "gurgly"... and up top it roars. I mean.. that's really the best way I can describe it. From about 4000+ it just roars.
 
Vid Please! Im dying to hear how a manifold will change the sound of this car.

I'll do what I can. I honestly do not have a great deal of time Monday through Thursday (work and school, literally, all day in night). Car is a garage queen during those hours. I'll have something up by this weekend.
 
How much hp do they hold up to?

we've got big turbo cars running the manifold with internal and external gate setups. i'm confident it will, by design, accept as much power as anyone wants to try and get from this car on any setup.
 
the demand for EWG manifolds is not high enough that we stock them. we make the attachment as ordered. this takes about one week with our local welder.

running a downpipe? What kind of exhaust? I am excited to hear this, I might have to order this and the corksport high flow cat racepipe to bolt up to my turbo xs downpipe and racing beat modified exhaust. (drive2)
 
just received mine the other day!!! and wow!! the manifold is top notch..looks amazing and the quality is perfect..installing as soon as i get my DP from Ken as well (called u today about when it shipped since u said it shipped seperatly and when i should receive it Ken)..ill post up pics for sure when its all installed.
 
i juist got this manifold in the mail. i layed the flanges across some flat surfaces and they both looke slightly warped cause i can see light inder both of them. plus i got no egt bung bolt so now i have to go to the store and buy one. once i bolt it up to the car will the flanges straighten out?? the side that bolts to the car isnt that bad but the turbo 4 bolt flange is very warped it can see saww on a flat surface

i can assure you having installed a few of these here the flanges on all i have installed are fine and do not leak. especially with the OEM gaskets in place. the bung bolt is a 1/8th NPT plug you can easily find at ACE for less than $2 in the plumbing aisle.

per the warranty, if there is anything wrong with the manifold, just contact me and if it cannot be fixed there i will send out a new one no hassles.
