U mean exhaust manifold....

Andy

if you are talking about exhaust manifolds then as far as i know they are not available in the UK without being custom made.

There is only one person i know of with a stainless steel ( i think) manifold on his car and that his vocky, he bought it from US and had to modify it to get it to fit.

Dont dbilas do one???

Andy

not sure tbh, if they do no doubt it costs mega bucks.

the one I'm looking at is 165usd plus shipping
looks like this

obviously there is something wrong with the pic the down pipes are bolted on wrong.....

Andy

that looks very nice, where is that from?

philip1

its for sale on Ebay by a company called Tsudo
I am looking at this one because the options are much more expensive and most are the 4-1 design which would kill all my low end power. my experience with old nissan saloons has taught me that 4-1 is not for the street.

BTW what does the UK stock manifold look like ? I bet it is better than ours.

I'd be weary of US versions of the Z22SE mate as I believe that the engine in the american j-body is ass end about compared to the Euro Astra G.
**Edit unless you're talking speedster I guess.
And I think it might be Lexmaulthat are doing Astra G extractors.
