    I think you may be right regarding the exhaust.
    Exchange rate (with ukp or usd) being what it is, the options got expensive very quickly!

    There were a few photos taken of it at DOVW here in WA - none of these were taken by me.
    I grabbed them from Facebook (but have deleted my FB account this year) so can't tell you exactly who took them!
    If you see your photo here and want your name attached, let me know.

    Port the standard exhaust manifolds, have a shop make 2.25" downpipes into a 3" exhaust

    Yeh don't forget the all important bullshiit import tax :/
    And your gonna use a haltec ecu, so dont use the standard mani's, unless u run out of money.
    Extractors will definitely get u more hp using a standalone.

    ??? Are you saying he Will not got more power with a stand alone?
    A quality ECU with a good tune always beats an OEM because it is optimised, where an OEM needs to have a degree of safety built in. Even a company like Porsche use MoTeC inn the 997 and Cosworth/Pectel in its 991 GT3RSR race cars
    , then lock them so the teams can't touch the tune

    I used a standalone ecu in my mk3 vr. Will be in my r32 swap as well.

    I'm referring to header comment.

    Got you, these days a lot of OEM manifolds are better than people think( or aftermarket are worse...) my old Suzuki GTI saw virtually nothing on the dyno (literally less than 1whp, less than the margin of error) but when you start to combine with other mods there can be a benefit for a well designed system
