Quicker spool up? More flow

Some increased torque (not sure on that one)

If you can remove them yourself and know someone who can do it, then shouldn't be too bad I wouldn't think, im thinking of doing same with my manifold on the Evo for some extra spool up and response, nice for sprinting etc.

Id probably say so Ian as to get the best from it you may have to, it could well start overboosting if more flow and spool up is achieved.
