the engine goin to b 500plus after next rebuild so need to look at wat the best options goin to be for that spec of yb, its still goin to a daily driver as well
standard 2wd manifold mate!as i think you need to modify the engine leg to fit a tubular one!i would stick with a tried and proven 2wd one for 500 plus bhp

personally i wouldnt bother unless you are a bufty fan, they do look nice but i doubt a standard one would restrict you, unless your mapper says otherwise
make sure you've got a decent free flowing exhaust
What turbo and spec are you planning on running , as said above a 2wd manifold has been proven to 500+ and costs £150 wheres a decent tubular manifold could cost over £1000 so may be money that could be better spent elsewhere.
I have recently seen the handiwork of a local place to me, and manifolds are £400 made ON THE CAR, so no fitting problems, out of SS all tigged up, excellent quality as well.
The guy doing them has a 600bhp FWD honda accord.

sounds good , spill the beans and show some photos please .
there is no need to have a tubular manifold untill above 550+hp i would say stick with 2wd, for the price you cant go wrong, and yor not going to see much differece imo

i can vouch for this Tony his work is 2nd to none hes doing my 4" exhaust system for me, he owns a very fast prelude, i will get some pics when i go over his in week of some work.
wy not change it. 2wd and 4x4 ain´t that good build. i had to turn my boost down with 0,3-0,4bar when i changed my manifold from stock 4x4 to my tube model. thats a lot of back pressur relesed in one place, and the lag is almost gone. and i´m only driving with 1,1bar of boost. my mate that i bought the manifold from got the same result wen he fitted it on his escos with bd12 and T4.
cant se any reson not to do it. and 2wd manifold are just easy. but not great.
