sounds like the raceland 4-2-1 you have seen on ebay, read alot of good about them on here many people seem to have them but not seen one myself but i would buy one cause i havent heard a bad thing yet

also theres ones on ebay starting bid at £175 i last seen it anyway, 4-2-1 style pro-comp they are called and i have one of these and can't fault it in anyway, good gains when combined with a cat back system and decat

I bought that, and i don't think much to it realy, been thinking about getting a new/better manifold.

Got that Manifold with a Supersprint Centre section running from the manifold to the standard vts backbox.

Its been poorly made. The bracket dosnt line up to fit in the gearbox. I e-mailed the guy on ebay, and he said he's sold loads, and hasn't had any complaints or problems with them.

Yeah, the supersprint is just straight through pipe from the manifold to the back box. So when my MOT's due, ive got to put the cat and centre section with box back on lol

i just noticed you have a vts, would 4-1 not suit your car better anyway? im getting a vts engine fitted next month and going to try the gmc 4-1 with that engine and the current exhaust

check out KamRacing if you looking for a RaceLand 4-2-1 as they do a discount for Saxp members I think Im rite in saying.

Janspeed will also come in under £200 squids but its a Mild Steel item, should perform just as well as a stainless item, but will look horrible after few hundred miles unless wraped with heat wrap.

Citunig offer a 4-2-1 manifold which I think again is under £200 but not sure.

Dont forget to budget for a new Manifold gasket as somepeople forget :-)
