Default best place for custom manifolds please

hi guys where is the best place to get wacky looking manifolds the exhaust needs to be a full tubular jobby and big inlet to match...... after selling my last manifold i want another but a better one....

also i have a airtech manifold that works realy well but doesnt have that crazy look to it...

in my eyes the best looking manifold was the ava exhaust one but they aint availble anymore

As soon as you can, the engine is going back in asap, got a bloke to acid dip my current manifold to get all that powdercoat out of it :-(

Need to check that it wont foul on the strut brace

you need to decide which wastgate you want to run with as this is the main factor which determines the price
