a cooper free flow is good up to 1275 stage 1 level of tune, more than that you will start to lose a little at the top end but still make good low to mid range power

That is a SuperSport LCB - not quite the best in town 
I'd recommend you finding another (better) brand before fitting it to the car. The collectors are really bad on the SuperSport LCB's.

That kind of LCB will outperform the cooper freeflow, but the cooper freeflow will be quiter and more reliable.

The cheaper LCBs have issues with fitment, i had to make an extra web to keep it rock solid

a LCB is likely to hang down a bit low on a 998 block, you might end up with ground clearance problems
i have a 998 with 2 inch full system... its a regretable decision to be honest for ^ fault
