You can use a ramhorn but you have to find one that's ps compatible

Yes. Some ramhorns are able to be used with PS.

Most manufactures will say if it is PS compatible or not on the product info.

If not, just email or call them and they will be glad to help you.

If you're not pushing big horsepower then a log/cast manifold is fine.

Then any ramhorn is just for looks at that point. You can get a nice log manifold from Pfab or GoAutoworks. I've heard even the cheap Ebay variety cast ones are okay to use but make sure to get the ones where the wastegate (if you're using an extenal) mounts in the center of all four runners to prevent boost creep.
