Yup turbo'd now. It worked fine, never had any leaking issues, bolted right in without a fight, lined up perfect with the DP.

that's to the wheels man, equates to like 10hp crank + or so. also I already had a full 3" exhaust on my car when I swapped it

to me the sound was slightly more agressive, i felt some decent gains when i had mine on also, its definitely worth the money for $199 especially if you compare gains of an extruded and honed manifold for $280.

yeah it was originally dyno tested on a 2.4 HHR. but I went and dyno''d it with a ton of mods already so I guess the gain wasn't as high
