I got my Raceland 4-2-1 Manifold fitted today by 1 Stop Performance in burton. Glad to have it done, they came across the usual problems that come with raceland manifolds, holes too small etc...The nuts and stuff also werent very happy coming off my car.Car sounds raspier now which is good as my exhaust was stupidly loud before and revs more freely.

Also they offered all you lot on here discounts for any work done, and they do it all,so let me know if anyone near burton wants any thing done:y:

No dont think it is really any louder, but I only drove it home so not really long enough to know properly. Not that its a bad thing, my car is very very loud anyway with a de-cat straight through pipe with no silencer.

Nice one, did they have any problems with the join on the CAT/DE-CAT pipe ? Mine blows quite alot with my magnex de-cat pipe... because you can't use the usual spring bolts, it isn't really a good join. The garage that fitted it put some sealant on it, but it still blows quite alot, just wondered if you have the same problem ?

I dont think it is blowing, I cant feel it blowing down there. It was done at a place that specialises in exhausts and they changed the springs and everything.Im not entirely sure if they have replaced the springs with solid bits of metal.I will have to have a look again...

And burton is near derby.

have you noticed much of an increase in performance or throttle response at all?

I havent really driven it since, drove it home in traffic from the garage, and drove to work again in rain and traffic, so not had chance to get past 2000revs really. One thing I noticed straight away was that it seems to "bite" sooner and get up and go quicker.
