what's the best 4-2-1 manifold I can get for a VTS and where from? thanks

I have Raceland one I have no problems with it.

I got it for £130 from an SSC group buy not sure if theres one at the moment but you can always mail the bloke and ask him.

Failing that you can get them off Ebay for Around £130 - £150.

these raceland ones are supposed to be good like as steve has said

i've got a supersprint on mine and its spot on think they are fairly expensive though

I would get a raceland like already mentioned mate as they seem to be very good, but if you have deep pockets and want to splash out get a supersprint although the raceland does the same job.

gmc is alot better than both imo

Yea I have heard GMC ones are good but the guy wants a 4-2-1 not a 4-1. He might prefere this one tho.

4-2-1 is a better option IMO and the raceland is really well made I'm sure they could charge a lot more moeny for it.

Hi Guys,

To be honest, its all a question of what your looking for.

You can pick 16v 4-2-1 manifords up for about £150 or less and will probably be mild steel, but you can pay up to (and over) £300 for Stainless Steel ones like Supersprint.

Most will make the car fill more lively and free reving but to really get your moneys worth out of a good manifold you really shoul look at a decent exhaust sports cat or cat bypass pipe + a decent induction kit.

If your looking for the wow factor and you've got the cash go for Supersprint good power gains plus it will look great too, but if your on a budget go for a mild steel item like janspeed or sportex and wrap it in heat wrap, good power gains and motorsport looks plus nobody will everknow its only mild steel if its covered

yea i'll be purchasing a full magnex system with a decat at the same time, does anyone have any links to where I can purchase the supersprint or raceland manifolds as I can't seem to find them anywhere? thanks

normally find raceland on ebay and google the supersprint, milltek

9th August 2006, 19:28

Out of practace, always check eBay for any bargains (private sellers and eShops too) as I saw a few when I was picking up all my bits.

eg, I got a full BRAND NEW mild steel twin box cat back Janspeed system with a 3" exit for £110 off eBay.

Also its great for comparin loads of different brands that some shops may not be able to get hold of.
If there are not any on eBay just chuck Supersprint into a search engine and take it from there, but always check more than about 4 shops as how gutted would you feel if you found somewhere aweek later that offered free delivery or somekind of discount.

If your feeling brave enough to fit it yourself why not spend awhile smoothing out the exhaust ports that line up with the 4 branchs.

ok, so I found this link
http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/fra...001&PID=419042
is this a 4-2-1 manifold and will it be ok fitting onto a decat although it states it fits onto the OEM cat?

Seems expensive that manifold does buddy. Found two of the ones you are after on ebay. The supersprint is not on here at the moment but is always on here and is cheaper than what you have found I am sure of it.

RACELAND ONE:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEE...QQcmdZViewItem This is the one I would go for but if you have deep pockets like said before then supersprint but I still rate the raceland and so do many other people.
MILTEK ONE: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAXO-VTS-16V-P...QQcmdZViewItem

that raceland one says it's for the mk1, would it still fit a mk2?

11th August 2006, 07:57

The one on my link? If so I believe they do as they are the same engine. I am 90% sure but best to wait for another opinion or ask a garage before to double check.

11th August 2006, 10:46

the head pattern is same on mk1 and mk2, just the cat placing is diffm so therfore it will fit a mk2 just may cause more probs come mot time.
