Granted the stock Tour/Coug mani is fairly sold piece, but it looks like crap. More importantly the turbo would interfere with the AC compressor and downpipe clearance and possibly the intake pipe and front motor mount clearance. My dad said he spent a week trying to fit the stock manifold to the turbo and couldn't do it. The focus manifold sits the turbo higher and that's important. Plus a custom manifold or even the Focus manifold looks cooler than our stock mani.
