Exhausted

[SeriesLandy]

Hi guys.
I'm at the stage where I need an exhaust, I'm still contemplating a few options but don't know which route to go.
I'm only looking to keep the pinto engine about a year after iva so I don't see the point in spending the money on a stainless exhaust (and I can't tig)

My main question is do I use the stock manifold which goes 4-2 then I would need a 2-1 and use some bends to get it out the side panel
Or do I make a 4-1 manifold from the block to the exhaust?
Where is the best place for cheap decent quality mandrel bends.
Also any ideas what I would need, would 4x 180 and 4x 90 be enough (as mentioned on here before).
Lastly I'm assuming the final size depends on the exhaust (which I don't have yet) and the starting size 1.5inch to match the ports?

Hope that's not too much to answer.
Steve

What do people look for when buying an exhaust, I've looked on eBay for a motorbike one, how would I know it's suitable for a pinto. I've seen someone say look for ones off a 1000cc bike but would others ie600cc be ok?

Also anywhere else to buy steel exhaust bends apart from jetex?
