MCS Performance Manifold

[Rigsey]

Due to have a performance manifold and high performance cat fitted in just over a week; based on your experience what should I expect?

Current modifications detailed in sig.

Improved mid to high rev range performance?

Slightly increase noise level (hopefully)?

[Paul@1320]

All depends on whose manifold and cat and your current mod list.

You'll defintley have an increase in noise level

Well noise will be the main thing, pop pops and bang bangs.

Should rev more freely to.

what you getting

Re-route pipe aka one-ball

did you get the pop and bang you wished for ?

Car booked in for Saturday morning so will let you know on Saturday afternoon ...

I'm sure I won't be disappointed

Update:
Following on from my earlier post I had my yearly belt change + GTT manifold and boost gauge fitted on Saturday by Roland.

Roland gave my MCS a clean bill of health before and after fitting + we record an impressive 30-70mph 3rd gear acceleration time of about 5.7 seconds.

I’m really pleased with the manifold as it seems to have smoothed out the power delivery slightly and the car seems even keener to rev (especially at higher revs).

Noise wise its spot on, in conjunction with the previously installed re-route pipe the noise is perfect i.e. not too loud when cruising at 70 – 80 mph ish but raspy when playing.

One thing that Roland did notice (and fix) was that my oil level was slightly high; not good considering the last oil change was performed by a dealer. I normally check to make sure the level is not low rather than too high ….
Something worth bearing in mind

Oh and the boost gauge is a neat bit of kit. I already had a Scanguage2 which is great bit of kit (especially for the money) but you can’t beat an analogue gauge (i.e. much easier to read quickly).

Not sure what my next mod will be as the car now feels pretty much spot on in my opinion; I seem to remember I said this before …..

Very good

Nice and easy to read without taking your eyes off the road + interesting to watch

Also useful to know I'm generating the correct levels of boost i.e. 15-17psi
