1.6 ETD vs BEGI vs custom
Ok so I have the tacotaco cast mani now and I've been thinking about upgrading to something that flows better and possibly going EWG while I'm at it. I've tried finding some info on the ETD piece but everything I find is the greddy replacement. Any of you guys have any experience with the ETD unit as far as quality and cracking etc? I was also looking at the BEGI S4 which it seems like I would have to stay internally gated and it's cheaper than the ETD and stainless. I've heard they can port the flange for a t3. I was also thinking of getting an ARTech ramhorn but I dunno if I want to spend that much on a manifold yet. I know the ramhorn will flow the best but it's just a chinacharger so I'm not looking to break 300hp or anything. What do you guys think? Thanks

IMO, in terms of flow:
fwiw, Neogenesis has a pretty nice modified ETD T360 setup for sale right now.
- AbsurbFlow design
- ETD Shorty
- Ramhorn | BEGI S4 | Flipside
- BEGi Cast directed-pulse
- BEGi Cast non-directed-pulse | HKS Cast | FM Cast
- GReddy Cast
- TacoTaco Cast Log | JGS Log

Thanks wayne but I'm not wanting another cast mani. Figure while I'm doing might as well get a tubular one. I guess for the money I might get the ETD so I can have EWG. Anyone know if BEGI can put an EWG flange on the S4? I saw Neos but I don't need the whole setup like he's selling. I can make a DP I just need a good manifold without going over $550 if I can

I have access to a shop where I can make my exhaust but I won't have enough time to make an entire mani. This is kindof a favor cause we've known the people forever so he doesn't mind us using the bender for a while.

I could do a log mani for around $300 IIRC, but ARTech does his nicer for like $200 and can do you a downpipe if you've got a 1.6l.
What's your definition of cheap?

Open end = there is no flange on the end of the downpipe, so you can run a custom catback or have someone mate the DP to your current cat/catback
