Brief history: Had the 200 a month - had a leak from manifold (Flexi's ?). Renewed both with new ones yesterday. Was ok when i collected and on the run home. This morning deffo leaking somewhere again. If a new weld has a hole in it, or it was something else we missed etc.....at this point i dont know / cant see. Point being i now don't want to continue spunking money on the standard manifold.
1/ I'm not really after extra horsepower (As such) - although of course that wouldn't be missed as a bi-product. What id like is a "better" manifold - that's not prone to cracking, preferably made from Stainless steel and something i can "fit and forget. Is there anything other decent - thats not £600 like the K-Tec........?
2/ Can i retain cat / cats with both Lambda's in place so i get no MOT / dash light issues ?
3/ Are uprated engine mounts a good insurance at this point regardless of anything else........?
I understand fitting a non-genuine manifold will likely mean it will need to be re-mapped, and so it seems i might be best to also get a cat-back system at the same time....and then get them mapped together. So i'll likely be getting a Piper / Scorpion resonated system to mate to whatever manifold i buy and fit.
Suggestions, links to manifolds etc, advice, previous experiences all welcome as i'd like to do this all in one hit and not have to revisit whats already been expensive, and is about to get worse on a whole new level.
Cheers Guys.
