Hi guys,

I believe I have an Alpina exhaust manifold which I'm thinking of selling, thing is I don't know excactly what a genuine one looks like... Would anyone have any pictures that I could compare to? I've got a magnex manifold which doesn't look half as good as this one.

Very similar but the flange is different, it's also got a 3 bolt flanges after the collectors. I'll get a pic up. The car did come from sytner with it on along with genuine alpina wheels, steering wheel, gear knob etc... which makes me think it was an alpina manifold.

the one you have posted up is different to the Alpina one....

look at the way #3 goes over #2 on yours, the Alpina one does not do this.
