Spoon 4-2 manifold, worth it or not?

[Linus27]

Hi,

My DC5 currently has the Spoon 2-1 decat, Spoon b-pipe, OEM back box, AEM V2 and K100. I am wondering is it worth getting the Spoon 4-2 manifold and map tweak or will the gains not be that noticeable?

Aren't spoon systems fairly restrictive? And why am oem backbox?

I'm not sure. I believe the Spoon b-pipe and N1 are very good. No idea about the 4-2 and 2-1 manifold though.

I did have the Spoon N1 back box fitted but it's too loud for track. Only downside now is with the OEM back box it's fairly quiet. I do have a Fujisubo Power Getter cat back in the loft so I might try and fit that next week to see if it's any louder.

With the Spoon 2-1, Spoon b-pipe, OEM back box, AEM V2 and K100 it made 227bhp. Would like to get close to 240bhp if possible so just looking at all possible options.

Yes, it will more than likely come on. You will need to get a remap.

We have a great offer on the Spoon Manifold at the moment.

I had the full Spoon system and after swapping the 2-1 and 4-2 to a Buddyclub header I lost a small amount at the top end but gained about 10-15lb torque throughout the range, which was a lot more noticeable.
The 4-2 and 2-1 combo gives better top end power, but they advise keeping the oem cat if you want better mid range, if using the Spoon 4-2.

Thanks Luke for the info. Seriously considering ditching the Spoon 2-1 and getting a 4-2-1 system.

I think I lost about 7hp top end but the low and mid range increase was well worth it. Plus, my 4-2 had cracked so I needed to replace it anyway and the Buddyclub has been perfect since!
