The idea of skimping costs on an S50 swap is mildly amusing..

The fritz one is designed for M50's imo.. So not as well as the BTB

The BTB has been dyno'd in many places now and I've not seen a car that could be classed as down on power (this is the reason for doing the swap surely.. Power)

The exhaust manifold is soo important for the engine to make power

Massive gulf in quality though..

At least with the BTB one, you are effectively keeping the stock manifold which is quite frankly pretty awesome out the factory..

i am not even a BTB fan boy, but sometimes you just have to admit there isn't anything as good..

Exhaust systems on the other hand.. Go see Zero Exhausts :wink:
