TD04 downpipe

[pacman]

Anyone know where I can get a decent quality downpipe for a TD04? I've read that it's best to get a matched manifold/downpipe combo, how true/important is this? Reason I ask is because I have a custom manifold which I'd quite like to keep, although I would change it if I had to.

I've also got an external wastegate that I'd like hooked into the downpipe as I want to get rid of the screamer pipe. The car has a side exit on it atm but I want to switch it back to rear exit.

Any answers appreciated...

Ideally you want the matched manifold, as some have different heights and angles from others. It will a pain to line up with exhaust, if not impossible, and can pull the exhaust out of shape, making the end tip hit off the back bumper etc. It can just cause problems that can be solved by getting the matched manifold.
