ye mate well seems to be better on mpg anyways when i 1st put it on i was low on petrol so i topped it up with some 97 octane petrol and its done around 160miles on half a tank so just need to see how many more i can do with the bottom half of tank now. prob be around another 100miles and ive been rassing car aswell with the exhaust blowing so to me its doing really good :y: and manifold was in the old manifold mate only thing i have restricting the power now is the silencer and the normal air filter but i have a k&n panel filter on way and will be giving the standard air box to air intakes :)
