N1 v Tomei - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

R34nur · 8th October 2008, 01:04 AM

I was considering to get Tomei manifolds & turbo outlets to replace N1 manifolds & Nismo outlets.
Just wanted to know is it worthwhile doing so?
i tried searching but couldnt find any discussion on this .

It think the cast manifolds are less prone to cracking. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I was advised not to change my manifolds as they were almost as big as the tomei ones and wouldn't really justify the cost.

I have the expreme manifolds on my car. Havent cracked, leaked or hissed at all. In 12,000 KMS at over 600 HP. The good thing about the manifolds are they retain the stock heatshields.

Thanks for the diagram it clears up everything even i think its not worth eneough to go for the change
tomei ones are great products I saw them on one car they look good too

What about tomei exhaust outlets opposed to nismo turbo outlets??

I have no experience with the Nismo turbo outlets.
Currently I have the Trust Extention Front Pipes and I was told by Ando san of SS Crazy garage that I shouldn't have changed them. Apparently the stock N1's are big enough too and according to him better.

I wish I had N1 manifolds

I do have Tomei elbows, but it's very hard to quantify performance gains. All I can say is that they still look new

I guess if you're not running the N1 items, it's great to get those items. Since you already have the N1 items, it's a little too much to pay for such a small difference but if you have the funds, go for it.
