Exhaust, Manifold. Which one?

[Al]

I went up to Mike Satur's last week (at last) to have the 4-2-1 manifold and Daytona fitted. It was expensive but not as expensive as the plastic surgery I'm going to need to get this idiot grin off my face

I have the Daytona and Sports Cat, waiting for the link pipe.
Will fit PowerFlow tail bits

I'm with Debs on this one, she's right on the money.

I have an X-Power 4:2:1 on my F, but have had exerience of fitting 3 of Mike Satur's Piper 4:2:1 manifolds too - for me the Piper is better made with more equal length primaries and secondaries. If i had to do it again, i would get a Piper from Mike.

As regards performance, power is less of an issue witht he exhaust manifold, what you should be looking for is torque gains and both the X-Power and Piper show noticable gains from the driver's seat (anecdotal evidence only i'm afraid, yet to be independantly tested to the best of my knowledge).

As an aside, i have also had 4 back boxes on my car, the SP Supersports (now Miltek Supersports), Mike Satur Daytona, Phoenix and my current TT Fxtreme. Of them all my favourite was the Daytona and i only changed it because it was damaged in the accident in 2003. They all are good systems though and have thier pros and cons as well as unique characters - i wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of them.

Daytona fitted with some Coool tail pipes

Sound good already, and I can feel the torque

Blimey Al - long time no speak! Where've you been? Last time I saw you around was MGF10.

We had to heat up and bend an outlet pipe as it was not parallel with the other. (There goes the guarantee)

.Yes a SC would be great, will fit CloseRatio and LSD Box first.
Looking at the B&G Plate LSD rather than the cog one.

LED Lights are a must. Sorry Stu

HID Head lights and Minature HID Spot and Fog behind the grill

Fix the roof not going down easy.

Fit a DAB Radio



Not much to do

Bit of a warning to all you TF-er's, there have been a few reports of Mike Saturs 4-2-1 causing a few vibration problems with the flexipipe

Head over the MG-Rover org forums to see some pics / descriptions. Basically the pipe is ending up lower than it should be, due to the difference in subframes.
