   4-2-1 will give more free flow of exhaust gas but remain good back pressure over a 4-1.... you should notice it will rev more free than standard

   manifolds are quite good mods to make imo, but depends on the rest of your system.

   Yeah, fair few people i know use raceland.
   and make sure you got a slot out section for your cat just incase should need it for MOT
   
   Thats often overlooked

   too big for a furio bud.... will lose too much back pressure, you would be better with a 2.25" or 2.5" tops, raceland are ok, but shop round.

   yeah, you want to run a 2.25 centre with a 3" max tailpipe.... you gonna be running strait through or with a mid box?
