   what do you think is the best buy a superchip or a manifold with a sports cat?
   how much bhp does a superchip give and how much will a manifold with sports cat give for a vtr?

   superchip is cheaper because the manifold is 395 pounds from cituning, i think around 6 bhp from the chip and 5 from the manifold

   super chips suck the big one mate,
   
   get the manifold.
   
   
   A super chip is mapped for a standard car without any mods and has been known to cause pinking.
   
   If your looking for a chip wiht further mods in mind then get a dastek as it can be remapped time and again to suit

   Defo get a manifold and a de-cat!
   You will gain as much HP and torque as the chip, maybe even more. And the manifold and de-cat will give an extra sporty sound to the car.
