Hi
I have a williams 1 and might need an exhaust manifold does anyone know where this can be sourced from nowadays? Renault no longer stock the part.

cheers

there'll be someone who has a second hand part on here more than likely, you can buy aftermarket one's new but they can be pricey..

Mild steel 1 from Ktec is a lot cheaper than the Oreca http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_prod...id=380&appid=1

I can't understand why the Oreca one says not for road use??? The Ktec stainless one looks much better value.

Has anyone fitted either of these?

possibly the noise level.. Oreca's are renowndly loud..

thanks for all the replies
These sites all seem to be tuning up and racing sites is there no way of getting a standard manifold exhaust anymore?

Do let us know if you find out - I think lots of exhaust manifolds are going to be rusting away in the next couple of years. Both of these come with downpipes and it would be really useful to be able to replace both with stainless steel.

I seem to remember 16v_paddy saying not particularly nice things about the original manifold anyway.

The aftermarket was always going to be biased towards tuning up when the standard part was still available for 'normal' people. Trouble is, the aftermarket by now consists of five people and one dog, so the demand is somewhat limited.
