    i always thought, and im sure i read somewhere that a 4-2-1 manifold is best for exhaust flow over a 4 branch? i.e. a standard sr part, but thats just my opinion

    yea, the starnd sr/gte 4-2-1 is good for normal driving..

    4-1's are good when you spend alot of time high in the rev's.. more the torque higher up the rev range apparently..

    someone correct me if i wrong though

    Yup. I would stay with the standard 4-2-1.

    I have a 4-1 fitted on mine, and its really moved the torque further up the rev range. Not much use with a 6200rpm rev limit.

    a regal 4-2-1 would be better but then its not really worth the ?220+ when you can do better mods for the same price.
