dasonS70T5 · Mar 8th, 2012, 23:30

Hi has anyone got a Stainless Steel manifold on a T5? Myns an S70 1998 ex cop. Theres a few on ebay for Non Turbos, struggling to find any for Turbo cars tho?
I found this one and asked the guy if it will fit my car, he said it would but hes never fitted it to an S70 himself? (im not convinced haha).

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance!

That states 2004+ so I'd be wary about it fitting cars as old as ours, I can't see it being of a particularly high quality either, that's dirt cheap that is.....

Gotta be better than the standard one? Anyone have any recomendations on where to get a custom one made then?

just buy a V70/S60R manifold, straight fit and better flowing its a proven mod and a straight fit, as for that stainless manifold i certainly would not fit it.

Can you clarify both your claims that the R manifold is better flowing and as to why the stainless manifold wont fit?..

I have always been under the impression that a stainless manifold gave a 'ringing noise' where as the cast one acted in a damping effect.
Am I being deluded or correct ?????

first of all i have a S60R manifold fitted to my car and the turbo spools up slightly quicker so therefore one would assume its flowing better, do you not agree??

As for the stainless manifold, i didnt say it wouldnt fit, i said i wouldnt buy it.

thanks Bryan
