hey im new to the car and just wondering how hard it is to change the exhaust manifold/header. I bought the car and put it in storage since its winter where i live and havent looke at it. And if it isnt hard is it work getting an after market one, and will it make a big difference in sound and power?

 

For the 2.0 LNF Turbo motor, doing an exhaust manifold swap is utterly useless unless changing to a different turbo.

There will be virtually now power gains on the stock turbo and zero sound difference.

 

Also there is no aftermarket turbo manifold that will bolt up to the stock turbo. But as previously said you wouldn't see any gains from it anyways. The stock manifold has been proven to be efficient up to 500whp.
