   Hello! Wanting a 4-2-1 manifold for the vts, was just wondering what the janspeed is like if any1 has one, good power gains etc. And if there are any better options to go for please advise, cheers.

   I got one no real power gains just changed the sound of my exhaust slightly
   Very good quality though

   Its not the lightest on the market as its aluminised steel but its a good metal thickness designed to outlast the car with good quality welding.

   But still it's a fair bit lighter than the standard mani

   True. Its a well made product rather than using as thin and cheap as you can get away with. Some 'race' manifolds are unlikely to last 18 months before they rust through

   Which manifold would be the best on the market to go for then, taking in performance gains, build quality and light weight factors etc? It will be being used with my saxsport system (de-cat).

   Supersprint, can pick them up for £200 second hand.
   
   Raceland on a budget though - £50-100 second hand
