Lexmaul exhaust manifold

[kyl3_l]

Has anyone got a lexmaul exhaust manifold for a xe? If so are they worth buying ?? Same price a btb mild steel one but would rather have a stainless one and do not want to spray a mild steel one with heat proof paint because it looks poo and doesn't work. I know btb or sbd are the to manifolds but I don't have a huge spec xe so do I really need one?
Thanks :thumb:

If you use good paint and get the manifold nice and warm (not too hot) painting looks fine..
Are they both a similar design..?
Lexmaul parts are pretty ok from what i remember; you got a pic of each?

Very similar design here is some info I found on Migweb but is a couple of years old so thought u see what you guys kn here thought

If the its the top one on that migweb link; get that.. a nice 4-2-1 design; long primaries..
Others arent as good - wierd how one of the lexmaul pics is different..?

I agree first one looks good. I think the other pic of the lexmaul is not the actual picture of the c20xe manifold just a example of a lexmaul exhaust. Could do with someone who has one to tell us what's what
