hottuning manifold.

Gooner, its a shame I have (nearly) got back to Liverpool, you could've borrowed my home ramps, was in northampton yesterday as well!!!

Surely 1 of these places that make up these Micky Mouse ish (custom?) exhausts would fit it up to fit your existing exhaust? Which is what by the way?

Roderz, managed to get it all bolted up yesterday ,with the help of Dave318 and his work ramps. In answer to your question, from
the centre box to halfway towards the rear it,s a bmw system, but just in front of the back box, the pipes have been cut and welded to what appears to be the pipes to a 320i backbox. Will be replacing this with a 325i system asap. Just one small job to do now, it seems that with my customary spanner skills, i have managed to somehow fold the heat protector gasket right across the front of the rearmost manifold port.
Thus preventing the manifold itself from mating up properly.
I really am a self professed spanner cock.

Looks good what gains do u see with it??

I say its a good copy of a alpina maybe its as good as the evolve sell

any dyno to show priven figures etc??

nice and shiny too

Its nothing like an alpina manifold and is a copy of a BTB2.

It,s exactly what it say,s it is at the top of the page. nothing more, nothing less. Sorry folks, but i,m not getting involved in any arguments,
pro or anti. I,m happy with it and that,s it as far as i,m concerned.

As long as your happy wi it m8,thats the main thing.....looks pretty damn good to me!!

Sorted, at last. Have,nt driven it yet as i,ve left it all jacked up ready for an oil
change tomorrow, hopefully. Have to say though, for the short time i ran the engine, the sound is addictive. Will post a sound vid after the oil change.

Had a lucky escape though. Drained and changed the oil. Went for a very short spin to try it out. Pulled the bonnet cable to dip the oil, and spotted the oil filler cap resting in the battery tray. .

ive done the same, drove to work and by the time i got there the engine sounded like a bag of bolts and all the oil was soaked into the underbonnet soundproofing and dripping all over the engine.
no damage done though.

Easy done mate, i usually dont like to drive it for such a short distance, but bleedin glad i did.
Don,t know if you can tell from the clip, but i seem to have a slight air leak from somewhere.
