Default 2WD manifold on a 4wd? Any advantage?

Hi, well as above really. I was told that the 2wd ex manifold is better flowing, and as my head is off and its laid up for a bit off is it worth popping one on there?
cheers

I think no then, 4wd only becomes a problem over 4 hundred-and-something.

4wd is a better idea as you don't have to piss about with dampers and stuff.

Not worth it at that power imo. You would have to fit a turbo damper as well
