performance headers?

[withku]

2010 non PP with the LMS T460 package. Had to pull a header for a job and it’s pretty rusty/beat up. I don’t know how restrictive OEM would be, but I would like to replace it regardless. Does anyone sell aftermarket? I couldn’t seem to find any.

I think the 13+ are less restrictive that the 10-12

I think a 013 and up set fits. You can port them or gasket match them. I think it would lose some turbo response on paper but probably not enough to be noticeable. You dont headers a turbo, they are turbo manifolds and most are pretty restrictive. But they are strong

learned a new term. how bad/pointless would it be to only replace one side?

Depends on your goals with the car. Gunna trade it in on something new eventually? Or keep it forever? Check Tascaparts for a manifold, usually they have the best price

If you are using the same design no problem. If you are looking at 13+ maybe. I am weird about matching but..maybe it won't make enough difference

You could always go used in a pinch. ebay, parts recyclers etc

Personally id sandblast the oem one and get it coated. I doubt it rusted bad, usually just surface rust from the heat

I've seen them compared in person, the 13 year model and up is much less restrictive. Would be a cheap, simple upgrade.

I am having some custom ones made that will be OEM bolt up but will flow better. The designer has flanges he might sell if you are looking at having a local shop doing something for you.

For normal guys like me. I did the +13 manifolds and did alittle porting to them nothing super crazy just some that look ok.
