I've heard that the manifold can give upto another 10BHP, not sure how true that is, but severeal people have mentioned it.

Rich, where are you getting your 4 into 2 manifold from then and how much ?  :) Will that give the cab more umph then ? Wouldn't mind doing something like that on mine but wondered what else needs to be done to maximise the 4 into 2.  ???

The 4 into 2 manifolds appear to be fitted to the older mk1's. I seem to remember reading somewhere that VW changed to the inferior 4 into 1 manifolds to save money ::)

Similar story with the diff rivets ::)

I'll try and remember to dig out the article on it.

Definitely recommend a powerflow system just had one fitted to my cab and it is definitely worth the money, a branch has just opened up in my local town (Aylesbury) they have a massive range of pipes from corsa style letter boxes (10" x 6 ") to fairly standard looking tail pipes and for the money you cant go wrong.

Regarding the down pipe on the old golf cabs 4 to 2 pipe, Power flow don't do these no surprises really.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pipe from? I want to keep the car standard spec, so don't want to change to a 4-1 unit.  

thanks :)

Have you tried Stu at Eurocarparts? He'll probably be able to get you one.
