tevan · 04-16-2009, 02:41 AM

OK so here is what happened first of all i drive a S4 87 turbo II and i had bought it a Racing beat downpipe 2.5 for it. My cousin and I went to install it on the 7 when he noticed my manifold was cracked

and well its crap so now i want to get a new manifold but i was wondering if i buy an aftermarket manifold could i still use my Racing beat downpipe or do i have to get a custom one made? Thanks

You can still use your RB DP, but I would suggest getting a good condition stock manifold or just bite the bullet and get a full S5 turbo swap. I did the swap and I'll never look back.

By swap I mean get the S5 turbo and manifold. Spools better, less clutter, easier to remove if you ever need to.
