Exhaust manifold

PostPost by: Uboat » Sun Aug 08, 2010 6:41 am

Hi,

I'm looking for an exhaust manifold with bigger bore than the original. Does anybody have experience of this? I know that TTR supply one, but as this part needs modification of the chassis to fit, I would rather find another one. Which is the one to go for? Paul Mattys? Sue Miller? Other suppliers?

Hi Ulf,
Just had a trawl through the QED website, they do a competition exhaust for roughly the same price as TTR (?380 ex VAT), although I don't know any information about it and I have no idea if it fits without modification.

Maybe get in contact with them their website is - http://qedmotorsport.co.uk/

What I would say is as standard everything is a tight fit so I wouldn't be surprised if all big bore manifolds need chassis modification (which is a quick job just a wee bit of cutting, weld on a re-inforcement and paint some hammerite over the top 8) ). Do you have a local blacksmith who could help? My local "smiddy" (what we call them in scotland :lol:) is very useful as I don't have any welding kit, he's made various new parts for me, things such as the vaccum pod bracket aren't avaliable anymore.
