Well, it depends what you call decent and doesn't cost the earth. The cheap ones off ebay Raceland, hot-tuning, whatever make they are called they are the same make. Where the manifold merge into the downpipe is worse than a VAG de-cat IMO and they sometimes hit the std ARB. Make your own mind up about it, but I know of better manifolds that do cost more but will perform better.

Regarding Raceland....DON'T BUY IT !!!! I hv it on my Seat Arosa G40 nd hd a loot of problems. Car didn't go at all!!! Thing is., down pipe fm first nd third cilinder are ok but conection fm second nd fourth cilinder are shit. Bore is very small - in diametar 2,5 cm nd car cos of that won't go.
