Those 6 branch manifolds on ebay usually make around £125 ? are they any good for that kinda cash ? much hp and sound difference ?

Seems to be made at a good standard but would'nt want to say if it was any good. a back to back dyno test would be good with different manifolds to see whats best.

I believe from other threads, not a lot of point in changing the manifold.

We built a 2.9 VR6 making 230 BHP (Schrick 268s, Schrick VSR, big valve head, ported TB) that still runs standard cast manifolds and downpipes...so they aren't restrictive.

This one is in a stripped track car with composite panels and lexan windows.
I'd hate to think of the power to weight...but it gave my 911 a hard time up to the wrong side of 140 MPH.
