According to information on the zone, Janspeed used to make exhaust manifolds to fit the 325i. Out of interest I emailed them to see if they can still make them. Unfortunately no they can't. They don't have/can't find the jigs. Also they couldn't even think about producing a manifold till later this year and it would depend on if they thought there was enough demand. Oh well, the search for a good affordable manifold continues.

Janspeed made the Alpina manifolds, I think.

They developed/made a run of manifolds in the late 80's for the RHD alpina converted cars. Theres a guy who works there I spoke to a few years ago who helped make them.

Well, Janspeed didn't say no. More of a probably not, unless they get a few thousand requests from fellow 325i owners.... I probably shot myself in the foot when I mentioned that it's quite common for later engines to be fitted and that a later steering rack causes clearance problems.
