Hi all.
There is an auction on UK ebay now for a set of Alpina headers/extractors,exhaust manifolds:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180677906359 ... 1423.l2649
The seller advises that they are either an exact copy or possibly genuine, given that Alpina never marked the headers.
Can anyone tell me if they are as good as BTB extractors?
I understand that the BTB's are very sought after, but I imagine that the Alpina's would be too, given the HP Alpina's developed.

I do not know enough about Alpina parts to be sure,but I do not THINK that is an Alpina item.
Send the photo to Simon13,I would trust his judgement on all things Alpina.

I'm pretty sure they aren't parts of an Alpina manifold, and they have been on Ebay a few times already!

For an M20 engine the best manifolds for power are BTB or if you can find one a Racing dynamics.
