   Hi guys. Im looking at getting a new manifold. Im not going to pay out for a piper/supersprint. Thats more than im willing to spend.
   
   I currently use a protech 4-2-1. Its very similar to the janspeed with regards to the design, omly stainless steel, but it makes a strange raspy sound from the engine bay area.
   A friends gti is the same. Cannot get rid of this noise.
   
   So the only other affordable option was the ashley manifold on ebay listed for a gti. It's my preffered choice, but has anyone used one?
   
   Any other recomendations will be considered.
   
   Thanks, jamie.

   janspeed has smaller bore pipes as far as i am aware which is more suited for mildly tuned cars

   I've got more of a back ground with bag group cars so only now am I turning French ( or to the dark side ) but Ashley manifolds have a very good rep for vag applications , will be interesting to see what the preferred mani for a vts is
