Default Pricing/debating EM upgrades

After STF's its obvious the stock Exhaust Manifold is extremely restrictive. Unfortunatly, after replacing my clutch my wallet thinned out, so i'm looking for a relatively cheap (I know urS4 and cheap=oxymoron) way to put a less restrictive EM without having to replace the entire exhaust system, if thats possible. I'm torn between an RS2 EM, or going the custom route. Is the rs2 Exhaust manifold optimum (considering price aswell) with the RS2 turbo?

Also if I get the 3" downpipe from the rs2 EM, would I have to replace the rest of my exhaust?

Too good to be true? or a POS replica?

Default RS2 EM generally does not come with a turbo unless you have found a package deal.

Go RS2 manifold and stock exhaust. The gain from going 3 inch is marginal.

Default What makes you think you're running a stock EM?

You're RS2ed, IIRC.

Look for the p/n of the EM to verify.

STFA on eBay RS2 EMs.

Default $1500 for cool sound is a lot of green.

But, if you go bigger than RS2, Stomung might be helpful.
