I recommend flex...Someone had a cast one with flex at one of the meets, I can't remember who made it but it was a quality piece.

Turboxs...cast iron...like stock ex manifold and cheap w/5 yr warranty. Autospeed is nice, flex w/velocity stack. W/flex, even a novice can avoid leaks.

I bought the Helix with the flex. NTB to install (Took Me a long time BC I didnt know WTH I was doing), it comes with gaskets for You, and I havent had a leak thus far (Kock on wood)
If You get one, I would suggest heat wrapping it or getting it coated as well. |

I think the cast with the flex might have been an aps. I would recommend the turbo xs as well but if your looking one with flex try an mrt or a vishnu. If you get the vishnu you can buy the kit which comes with new studs and gaskets as well it's about 300.

I have the Gruppe-S up-pipe and it is a solid piece with thick flanges. It works well so far. I am very happy with it and for the price you can't beat it.

I would also recommend the autospeed flex uppipe.. .it's quality is top notch.... I run this one myself and love it.
PS... someoen on the forum had these for like 230 or 250 or something.... much better price than the 320 I paid last year. |

The other thing you need to concider is EGT sensors.
Many of the newer uppipes have no place for sensores, stock or otherwise. Most of the sensorless pipes come with a resistor that fools the computer into thinking everything is OK. Some have bungs for the stock sensor. The car does not use the EGT reading for anything except a CEL warning. The APS uppipe comes with two holes, one for the factory EGT and one for an aftermarket gauge. |
