can anyone help, have got a magnex system from front pipr back, thinking of putting stainless manifold and downpipe on with it being a stainless maifold is there anything i have to do, i guess that bad boy gets hot !!!!!, also would there be much power gain.
thanks for the help and all have a good new year ::)

i cant see anything else being done its just a straight
swap over .... the only thing whats gets me on a mission is that you have to take the inlet manifold off to do this :( which is a pain, theses are 6mm allen key bolts and it will help if you get a little ratchet and a little exstention bar to do theses.
other than that stainless steel is frigile than steel or cast iron and may crack... but i havent heard of this happening......
the acceleration will be alot smoother! alot less restricted! :)

On a 16v shouldn't have to pull the intake. I had a TSR manifold that was always cracking but I think I had a poorly made one. Surprising as TSR is usually top gear. Made a bit of a difference in mid-range and low end. Made the exhaust sound a little tinny but I would say it is worth it. I'll put another 4 branch on when time/money allows. :)

:owhere is the best place to get a stainless manifold?and how much should you expect to pay,i would also like to get one,i once fitted an oettinger one to a 16 valve,that also cracked and had to be replaced under warranty,would a mild steel one be less prone to cracking?i too have a magnex system,would you expect such a great difference in torque low down with a stainless 4-1 manifold?
