why does the megan cat delete have 3 connection screws on one end and the megan catback exhaust or downpipe only has 2 connection screws? I have the megan downpipe and it only has 2 connection screws.

You dont need the manifold. Buy buschur 3" exhaust and mbc. The save for cams and tune.

If you are currently stock, then get the following:

K & N drop in filter $70
Meagan TBE $600
Hallman MBC $100
Boost gauge $100
Wahlbro fuel pump $100
ECU reflash $300

If you do all the installation yourself, then you have money to spare. This should put you in the 270-300 awhp range.

You can do a search for all of these mods and get installation instructions on the EVO How to/Installations forum.

Stock manifold is plenty for what you need. All an aftermarket unit is gonna do is look good and eventually crack.

+1 and if you're wanting more power from a manifold, have yours ported and jet coated along with the O2 housing. those stainless manifolds end up cracking or the welds come apart. plus my downpipe is stainless and it is now yellowish due to the heat and it looks like crap, i'm sure the manifold would end up looking like that, too.

Header ex manifold seems to be an overkill for stock turbo, sure looks nice though. You'll get much more bang/$ with a set of properly installed cams.

Wish I had $1500 to spend on my car.

Save it and go to the track and learn how to drive the car first before you start bolting stuff on.

i have the Megan Mani, improves spool up by about 200 rpms, sounds a little bit cooler on the top end, but not worth the money.
