Decent 4 Branch?

Exhaust manifold design and construction is a precise science.  Basically, you want all the tubes to be the same length and as straight as possible in order that the gasses flow evenly.

How decent is yours?

Pic?

just book it in at an exhaust fab shop a and have one made.

you payed 400 for a 2nd hand manifold   OUCH

the proper ££££ ones look like ££££ TBH but they are desinged on a 1 off basis to the engine accounting for other work done to it,  id want o see lots of loverly mandrel bent tubes going all over the place

i paid 350 for a dubpower one that fit loverly, mandrel bends, but the optimum prolly not, but a quality item for a mk1 16v conversion yes
