Hi people, i got this 6 branch manifold a while back an should be getting it fitted to my motor at the end of the month.
I was wondering if any one knew what make it is, i realise that its isnt a top draw manifold, but i still hope to get a fair few BHPs out of it!
What do you think guys?

B**tard I wanted that!! :lol: No its no good for your car wanna sell it...!!

Serious note, no sorry dont know anything about it whatsoever - neither did the seller by all account.

It should fit and should give you gains....what gains no-one knows. All you can do is measure the diameters and lengths and submit them on here. Some whiz kid should be able to advise further.

Hope this helps

Has pretty short primaries which means, designed for gains at high RPMs.....IMHO. Not seen anything like that but maybe M5Pilot can give u a clue - our resident 6branch "guru"

Try it and tell us how it went!

Cheers for the input guys! :) sorry you missed that one Massive lol.
I was just curious really if anyone knew anything really, probably a custum job i guess.
It going to go on the car anyway, hopefully before the Ace cafe meet either way ill let ya know how i get on.
Ill see if i can get the dimentions posted up and mabie someone can work out what sort of improvement will be achieved.
I think Sals away at the moment, i bet he would know!
