Hi does anyone know if i can get a custom exhaust manifold made up by some one who will come out to my car in sussex? Or if someones got one to sell?
Cheers Matt

You can buy a straight fit one - but it is hugely expensive.

Can you weld at all? Even if your welding is poop you could tack one together and take it somewhere to be finished properly.

Do you have any idea how expensive? I could probably tack it together i just dred to think what my pipework would look like!

I had this problem,this is my attempt at making a manifold and my solution....

Fritzbits manifold,whisker under £900 delivered.....
But the car sounds great when the r/h pedal in planted!

Just take it to a local welder, they'll probably do it for £30
