Haven't seen a dyno test yet comparing an aftermarket Zetec manifold with the ST170 item. ST170 has too much bends for my taste, I'd go for a "normal type" four branch.

st170 manifold is good. depending on what gearbox and sump your going to use will dictate if your going to use it std or have to modify it.
