Best exhaust manifold?

[talkingfish]

Got a k-tec stainless (essentially the old supersprint) on mine - love it to bits... sounds great, definate increase in power. As Wobba says, getting the joint right between the downpipe and the cat is a bugger - took me many many goes to get it right but again seems OK now. Don't really do the miles for cracking to become an issue (yet!). Oh, and go for the stainless if you can, much better quality.

ive got the same bought it from k-tec and it had supersprint stickers all over it^^^

had if for years and has been welded twice due to cracking, but its still going strong now, made a definate power difference on my car especially with the set up ive got now.

Gaz has just bought a mild steel k-tec manifold and made a huge difference on his car also.

I was on a cracked OE Wily manifold before:



It got mapped with this twice :(

After I fitted the S/Sprint I noticed more throbbing from the ITB's and it pulled better.

At first I had no flex joint. Paddy 16v gave me a flexi cup bit and I sourced a 50mm cone gasket from an exhaust specialist and it seems fine! Initially I overtightened the flex joint bolts, I've eased them off a fair bit now and its not blowing at all. Result.
