Guest TomsTurbo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi all, I bought a manifold on the cheap (ebay special, xs-power) the manifold was terriable, holes for the bolts not big enough then when it was bolted on the pipes didnt line up with the openings on the block. It blew out as soon as the car was tested, so im off to an unlucky start with the project! Im on a budget and building it up as I can afford it. What I need to know is, does anyone on here know of a good top mount exhaust manifold supplier? I have found a few in the states but would rather here a review from someone who has already bought one. Any help or advice would be great! Many thanks, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Whiffbits, GReddy, HKS? You gets what you pays for in the manifold stakes. Oh and as Im sure everyone on here will tell you, you cant go single on the cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 As said, in terms of quality, fit, finish and longevity you get what you pay for, a decent tubular manifold will cost £1K+. What turbo are you fitting? A cheaper option would be to use a cast manifold instead, see discussion thread HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've got a Whiffbitz manifold on mine and it's spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 On a budget a cast manifold may be worth a look. Personally I prefer them over 95% of tubular manifolds. I have to say a single conversion and "budget" rarely sit well together.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clapyohandz Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Sound performance released their new F1 manifold. There is a group buy going on right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
