I've been searching around but can't seem to find any suppliers for branded manifolds. Having come from owning German cars previously there doesn't seem to be much available, unless of course I have completely over looked them.
Can any of you recommend a decent retailer and advise what manifolds you have gone for. Will I notice any difference in sound? Not really looking to make the car louder although a few pops on the over run are always nice :p
Thanks

I assume you are asking about exhaust manifolds rather that intake manifolds.
Your choices are very limited:
1) TRD "Header". Way over-priced, and difficult to obtain.
2) Cheap eBay "header". Rubbish copy of the TRD. Spotty quality, Ill-fitting, short-lived.
3) PPE Header. High quality racing header. Expensive & problematic to make work correctly.
4) ZeroExhaust Header. Expensive. Excellent workmanship. Direct no-problems bolt-on replacement.
In truth, no bolt-on manifold is going to yield large gains all by itself.
You can remove the pre-cats from the standard manifold and do as well.
Gutting the standard manifold is almost free, and the result is rugged.
