2.7 L EXHAUST MANIFOLD

Anyone ever had problems with 2.7 aftermarket exhaust manifold? Would I be better off spending the money for a factory? Or would I regret saving money now and the aftermarket manifold cracks in 6-12 months etc..? New vs. aftermarket!?

 

Mine is cracking and for 100 bucks more I will buy aftermarket. That's not because the toyota one will crack but I want lc headers.

Thanks! Would this be an upgrade from the stock mani.? Do you gain horse? Have the headers ever cracked? Are they loud like normal v8 headers?

 

It would be an upgrade if you have a pre 2001 with cracks.
Doubt much if any hp gain ,just recover what your losing.
They should not crack and will just sound like a stock i4.
