View Full Version : E16se exhaust manifold - which one?
Recently fitted a magnex stainless manifold and its hanging too low and catches all the time and I don't want to fit a mild steel one, don't want the ugly factory one but can't seem to find any others for sale, a friend staid he had a btb one a few years ago but it was expensive which I don't mind if it fits well, just wanted to get this sorted before sorting the centre section
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks Graeme

Ive got a 4 branch manifold I could sell you, can't remember what make it is or what it's made of though, I'll have a look for you when in home if your interested will be on Sunday.

I need a trip up to your shed on my days off .. sounds like you have an aladdin's cave of nova stuff ... lol
Please Baz as long is its not some mega rust mind steel job
THat's a bloody low manifold...
It's 80mm off the floor at its lowest point
Christ that does fall low, Mines about 60mm but that's cause it's 3inch...

You'll be lucky to find a stainless manifold anywhere, might have to have one custom made if thats what you really want. Could always get a 4branch heat wrapped if visuals are so important, or use some decent temperature paint on it. The standard manifold is a good design though.
Ceramic coated mild steel maybe?
Dont wrap a mild steel manifold for normal road use. It rusts the manifold even quicker! ;)
If its second hand, clean it up and paint it with high heat paint!
Ebay germany :) Pricey though, but stainless.

Sounds like you may have to cut and shut it !! this is what i had to do back in the late 90's
Think ill get a near new astley os sport ex and then address the centre section issues

Looks like a Magnex. For saying the exhausts were so nicely made the manifolds looked a right home made pikey job.
