Then there isn't really a manifold worth buying
You can buy one from ths but your Best bet is to port your standard one  :smiley:

making my standard one freeflow? ruff idea how much?

Yeah there isn't a tubular option only the ths cast one which looks pretty much the same about from its abit more free flowing so porting your standard one does pretty much the same job.
I ported my own manifold using a die grinder but badger5 will do it for you but not sure how much.

It's more for performance
More flow = Quicker spooling more potential power

Lower egt's too! If you can, try and get hold of a brand new oem manifold and send it off to badger 5 for porting. It'll minimise the amount of time your cars off the road. Also if you take your manifold off and it's cracked, having a new one allready there will avoid dramas!

Do you have an uprated filter and a silicone TIP (turbo intake pipe)?

If you have a panel filter it will be quieter....try swapping to a cone type, if you dont have a silicone TIP then get one....the whistle that comes with it is  :cool:

Or buy my one I have for sale and get it ported

I've just put a badger 5 ported manifold on and made a surprisingly big difference in performance and it hasn't even had the map tweaked yet.

Deffo worth doing if your going stage 2+ :wink:
