Hi guys,

The system i have on my car is temporary and i am getting a custom one made so its quieter. So i was going to upgrade my manifold while i was at it. I've been looking for stainless steel ones but they are all LHD.

I could upgrade the exhaust manifold to a 3.2 Evo one. Would it be too much hassle for the fabricator as there are more bends? Is there any real benefits?

Has anyone put this manifold on to their conversion?

Thanks,

Bhups

You cant just bolt an S50 manifold on, BTB will modify your supplied S50 manifold to fit the E30 but its about £1500 now.

Hi Dan,

£1500 is out of my budget. Can any fabricator make the S50 manifold fit?

No.

It doesn't work too well on the M5x either. Other than that...

The standard manifold modified properly is actually good for 260bhp+
