FN2 FN2 upgrade advice

Guys can you please help me make a decision on some FN2 upgrades? - TDi north have 10% off this month so tempted to order:
1. Tegiwa Manifold + 3" Exhaust + EcuTek Tuning (as recommended by them)
2. Fast Road Setup
*I question if this is a bit over the top for my daily drive, as it would be nice to have the extra performance but I dont want it crazy loud, and I guess it will drink more fuel etc.

The other option is - install Tegiwa Exhaust myself (for a bit of sound & better flow) + then get an EcuTek Tune more local to me (DMS Performance in wales). (I'm not fully convinced on this other tuner but its a 30min drive - compared to 3 hours for TDi)

TDi say they can make the 3" quieter than the Tegiwa exhaust but with a drop in/out CAT for MoT... but idk
for the FRSU - is it likely i will need this realigned in the future from general use?... presume I would have to return to Tdi or another specialist.

Sorry for waffling, i'm a bit obsessed with the car right now & dont waanna make a bad decision.. thanks!

Will you really use the extra performance in your normal driving?
If you intend to track it then maybe the extra oomph would help.

I don't have it but I guess FRSU would be useful anyway.
 
In terms of manifold, after some research I opted for the piper because the cat is in a similar place to OEM. The further away the cat is from the engine (i.e. b pipe), the harder it will be for it to get hot enough to pass the mot.

Having said that, I don't think I'm going to fit it because I'm now planning on getting a FK8 at some point as a daily. I'll probably keep the FN2 as it stands and probably focus on a few more handling improvements.

Piper is brand new if you are interested (i'll list it on here at some point when i get chance).
 
^ thanks for the replies - I booked in today for Tegiwa Exhaust, ECUTeck Tune + FRSU (on Meister Zeta CRD Coilovers).

Manifold was a bit too hardcore for me.. I hope it drives well with this setup.
