what does the turbo manifold do on the na motor??

Makes it sound mean

The N/A Subies have EL headers, so they tend to lose some of the boxer rumble.

yeah, no more inline 4 sound. the "burble" or "rumble" is what I was going for.

Oh Oh i see,the exhaust manifold!?!.Thats a cool idea i guess.What is in place of the turbo? If it was me i would put in a turbo in place of the missing turbo

That's the funniest thing I've seen here all week! LMAFO

FWIW, I think that's a cool idea to get the "boxer rumble".

I watch your videos and I keep expecting to hear the sound of footsteps and snatching up your camera.... Guess you just think that way after living in Portland for a while.

here is the manifold from my car without heat shields:

Ahh, I know I saw that pic somewhere before. It actually looks like you ruined a pretty good design

But, you removed a cat in the process. You may have actually lowered performance though with all that exhaust bumping into itself due to the non-equal length headers.

But hey, if your happy thats all that matters.

^i was thinking the same.Performance improvement is quite unlikely,although it sounds nice.Im wondering why there is one pipe from one side,and the other side has two pipes crossing over?

Is that manifold painted silver?

nope, that's just what they look like when they are brand spankin' new from the parts dept.

you can't really tell, but both sides have each port separated from the other for some distance before they join. the only reason it looks like one side is joined before they all meet up is because they are in a stcked configuration rather than the other side which they intertwine.

Gotcha! another question: why does you oil filter say"engine" on it.

because it's a small engine that filters my oil.

the original manifold complete as seen on the car:

so the boob working at jiffy lube knows that it goes on an engine and its not an air filter.

Oh burn!!! I worked at my local one for three years. It didn't hurt that one of my best friends is the manager there. I learned quite a bit about a large span of vehicles in a short time. Like which cars to NEVER buy because they constantly rolled in with the same issues & leaks no matter who the driver was.

That is definitely a weird cross-over design for sure.
