    Exhaust Fanimolds

    Are the any advantages in fitting a Supersprint exhaust manifold over the O.E Williams jobbie,was thinking of getting one fitted whilst heads off but not if its just a case of the Supersprint being stainless but no performance advantages?

    thanks

    I think there is a slight power gain in having one of these, the exhaust tone sounds nicer and they look good too! Just depends if your willing to splash the cash. This debate has been made so many times, people like stan say that it's very much dependant from car to car as to how much extra power you will get. Gunner's the man to ask, he's tried just about every manifold known to man!

    I like my supersprint, it gives the exhaust a nice raspy sound and gives a bit more top end power without sacrificing too much low-end torque. I understand they can be problematic though due to the rubber flange and the fiddly downpipe fitting method. If you do a search there has been a lot of talk on these.

    yeah agree with that martin.

    better top end power over valver manifold. no idea over a std williams one.

    if you have the cash its prob worth doing.

    mine fits fine, infact both mine have fitted fine, just a bitch to get off lol

    on my 16v engine there is def a difference with top end, its revs much easyier and pulls better at top end, def made a difference on both the 16v and williams!

    love the sound to, raspy but not loud :D

    I find mine smoother and pulls faster in mid range but you dont get such a kick at 4200rpm that you do with the std willy one but its faster out of corners and for overtaking which is what you need, more often than not.
