S5 Exhaust manifold on SE??

Trust me, I know that a RB exhaust would be better, but if a broke person had a s5 exhaust manifold laying around, would it provide any HP or torque improvement over a stock GSLSE manifold?

Anyone??

Stock S5 manifolds suck. No power gains for you!

Scrimp, save, and keep your eye on the used parts ads.
