Title: Abf manifold
Post by: Mcwill on 13 January 2014, 21:35

Removed the manifold heatshild today as it was rattling and noticed that the cast manifold has cracked :angry:
Is it worth changing it for a stainless steal one? If so what's best to go for?

You shouldn't steal manifolds, you should buy them instead.

The ABF manifolds are known to crack.  If it's not blowing don't rush into changing it.

If you do want to change it, TSR offer a dedicated manifold so it fits right:

Stealing one would be cheaper  :smiley:
Bit on the pricey side, do you think it's worth the money? Any gains to be had?

Always going to be pricey for low volume produced stuff. Wouldn't fancy trying to make on for that.

Pretty sure the KR manifold has the same part number.
