ATS exhaust manifold

Anyone install and running the ATS 2 pc exhaust manifold on a 4rd gen ?
Notice any improvements in spool up, power, and lower EGT's ?

Thanks

The ATS 2 piece will flow alot more air.
By aerodynamics if you are not gettin' on it, the ATS might cause just a hair of lag.
But, if you are gettin' on it then the larger ports will help out with the power end of things
by evacuating the exhaust in a faster manner.

These units are high quality and i think are a must if you are going up in power.

I've got one, but I installed all my stuff as a package, ATS manifold, turbo, injectors and pup. EGT's are very managable. If you are bombing, get one. But I would do it with the turbo upgrade, much easier on the install.

what are the cons? i have on the truck and cann ot find a single con. i think the turbo spooled up MUCH faster, as a matter of fact i got a few more psi before the motor has time to start defueling.

I have it as well and I really think it helped, but I installed my B-1 at the same time, so I can't be sure. But just looking at it you can tell it flows a lot better especially on #5 and #6 cylinders.

in installed it myself, its not very hard at all. rear turbo bolts are tough and that bracket is a pain to get out of the way but other wise easy. assembling the two pieces is a little scary. i was worried about squeezing the two pieces too much. i used a hammer and pounded the two pieces together then kept comparing bolt holes to the original. anyone else have a better idea?
