Hi folks,

Could someone indentify what kind of manifold this is please, i suspect it's going to be something like a hottuning one but would be good if someone could tell me its actually a good manifold.

It's the same design as my manifold. It's either a fritz bitz or a magnex. Not a bad bit of kit but it ain't no BTB

i thought it looked like the RGM hartge replica :?

either way they are a good bit of kit & ain't made of chocolate like some of the cheaper one's on the market.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Yea looks like the rgm one to me also, they are 195quid new now.

Here is a pic of one that ended on ebay yesterday (sadly it was being sold with complete exhaust)

I will be getting one of these soon, they look much better quality than the hot tuning ones

^ That again appears to be almost identical in design to the magnex and fritz bits.

i did have a magnex for a while but sold it when i was made a "attractive" offer for it so off it went lol.

the RGM one i've got on the car at the mo is just as good as the old magnex one i had.

i don't know about the fritz mani as i've never seen one in the flesh/metal.

i still can't beleave the RGM mani is now going for £195 :cry:

Cheers fellas, least i know its not a crap one.

I've been told there are some stamp marks underneath it so will hopefully be able to know for sure soon.

Oakey, sure isn't a patch on the BTB, i'll save mine for the chrome and this for the knock about turdo. 8)
