Rimmer, in there new catolog do a quite SS system. RL1598T,  SS 4-2-1
manifold, going to a wide bore pipe, with expander box, then a single wide
bour pipe into a streight through oval silencer with an angle cut exit.

You need to insulate the manifold to get any advantage over the standard
system.  When the exhaust manifold is insulated you will find the gasses are
being sucked out.  Hence better breathing, but of course you have less left
over gasses in the cylinder which effect the mixture.  You will need to put
in different needels or you performance will be worse than standard,
expecialy with free flow filters.  I have tryed some wire mesh type filters
in mine, hardly made it to 60mph.

Richer needels and stronger daspot springs are needed.

Moss can supply all this in a kit, if you like there price, however if you
shop around you could always get a better price.  IMHO
