E16se exhaust manifold - which one?

[Graeme]

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.

THat's a bloody low manifold...

[Graeme]

It's 80mm off the floor at its lowest point

[Benn]

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.

When Steve had your car it had magnex fitted

[bazzap8389]

^ had a feeling it might be, I'll check it out anyway.

[Graeme]

If you don't mind having a look Baz that'd be great

[bazzap8389]

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