I'm looking to mod my '98 S70 GLT (so far I've planned to get downpiping, catback, Reverse intercooler piping kit, ECU upgrade, Projector headlights from EST, and new rims) and I saw that ipd is now selling R manifolds for the S70. Would this be a worthwhile purchase or would it be practically worthless like the cold air ram intakes?

 

Well I will tell you it would be more worth while the the RIP Kit your planning on. Save your money and don't buy the RIP Kit. Waste of money, and hey don't really do much of anything. If anything it is for under the hood appearances.

 

Ok, so scratch the RIP kit, and how much more worthwhile will it be to get the R manifold?

 

How much I can't answer that truthfully fully as I don't know. But I am sure added with the downpipe and catback upgrades this would be a beneficial upgrade. Call IPD USA to make sure that it will work with a 3" mandrel bent downpipe. Just to be sure. Since you want a full 3" turboback system in all mandrel bends.
