You get what you pay for. If you want a dyno proven manifold then your looking at £500 (ball park). If you just want a nice shine way to waste £200 fill your boots.

If you dont spend enough time on here to answer your questions i reckon being a tit to people that are answering isnt going to help you in the future :roll:

if you are going to buy one before you fit it make sure the flange's have been welded on the right way round

was jusy lookin to see if anyone has tried and tested these and i bit of advice.
seems to me the only way to inprove the std item and to get power gains is to save and go for wot dezzy said.

I'd be careful of any tuning company that thinks an E30 M3 was a 6 cylinder motor!

...and,if £200 is your budget,keep an eye on Parts For Sale on here,mate.

You are better off buying quality used stainless bits from a zoner than you are by buying magpie bait on ebay.

If I was spending money on a 6 branch, I'd wait and save up for a BTB3 one as it is a proven manifold and also advantages such as working with a quicker rack and excellent quality.

Ok, it's 500 quid but worth it in my opinion for what your getting.
