surely must be the same as there standard e30 manifolds, the difference being they need to know where all the steerin parts that get in the way r so that they can design round it.

There is more to manifold design than most people think. There are finer details than bore size and header length.

We have seen Quicksilver copy the Alpina manifold and the first few that were made actually lost power over standard due to internal design flaws.

The one shown in the picture is a far cry from the BTB design which gives some excellent gains.

The supersprint one is badly flawed aswell and people with LHD cars who know about manifolds are buying the BTB over the supersprint.

I'd like to see a Sebring in real life, I've never even seen any pics of one.

The only manifolds I thought were good were the BTB's and the racing dynamics. Karan always said that his RD made a noticeable difference to GUG and numerous people who have fitted BTB's have also seen very good improvements on dyno's and arse dyno.

The first BTB was excellent even though it didn't have equal length headers and it was a decent price - gave 8 hp on a stock car.
