Default is it worth changing from 4wd exhaust manifold to 2wd

is it worth changing to a 2wd manifold(my car is only stage one)
but i will take it to stage 3 when the car is up and running
and i dont think i will be going any futher than stage3(thats what thye all say i know lol)
clearance isnt a problem as when my engine mounts were done the dummy engine had a 2wd manifold
ive been told it will increase the lag ect
your views would be great

For a normal stage 1 or 3 engine the 4X4 manifold will suit best. For applications over 400bhp swap to the 2wd item.

None what so-ever at this level of power and yes the 4x4 one gives better torque / response. You don't need a 2wd one until in the high 400s...

So my opinion is to keep with the 4x4 one for your application .
