You'll get gains without an add-on chip - just not as much. As far as I know, the manifold should replace both your existing manifold and downpipe, but best to check with the suppliers about this | |

Also will it fit the existing downpipe? | |

Lol, ouch. Probably wont be getting a mappable chip, as i'd rather save money for an engine conversion in the future rather than tune my 1.4. However if I can get 3-4 bhp from one I may as well, is this possible on its own? | |

There are good gains to be had from a better manifold, but to really get the best from them, you may have to invest in a programmable chip (such as a Unichip), which will enable you to adjust fuelling and timing | |

3-4 Bhp get a janspeed one they are mild steel and cheaper, Lexmaul are over priced at £300+, any one heard of BTB exhaust manifolds? | |

My manifold is blowing, i'm wondering if I should replace it with a standard one or go for a performance one (ie. Lexmaul or similar). The engine is a X14XE, standard except for a panel filter and cat-back exhaust. Is it worth it, would I get any power gain at all with the existing setup? Cheers in advance. |
