Are there any other options besides the pacesetter?

I heard its horrible under boost and will crack 90% of the time so i really dont want to even chance with one of them but im tired of looking at my stock manifold and i really dont want to have to pay someone to make me a custom one, am i stuck here where im at or do i have any other options?

any focus manifolds that are the same length and maybe even different flange that can be cut off and rewelded with a one to match what i need?

I think the stock Focus manifold works pretty well with turbos...

would a JBA work? i've never heard of anyone having problems with JBA's before. plus, if you were feeling froggy enough, there's a guy up here in Peoria that does amazing custom header work!

Yes a JBA will work. ZX2Fast is running one with NO problems.

The runners are a bit small though....

well im currently running a Gude setup for those who didnt know or didnt read my sig thats the main reason i need a stock length, it has to match up to my exhaust pipe that runs from the bottom of the manifold up to my turbo.

so do i still have the options of..

focus mani and JBA? just tryin to double check before i buy one and it doesnt fit.

Stock length as in the height of where the exhaust dumps or the exact placement?? If your looking for exact placement its gotta be JBA.

It bolts up to the cat, I was looking into getting one or having another header built for my turbo setup. If I keep the car that is.

JBA is a short header. It is the exact dimensions of the stock manni.

Expensive new...like $400 plus shipping.

PM JonsZX2SR. He has a brand new one that I'm sure he'll let go for less.
