The Janspeed one is £170 odd and seemed to make a fair difference, looks good quality as well.....apparently they are copies of the mantzel/lexmaul ones, just cheaper in mild steel.

i think there is a place called SBD which does custom ones, they might be able to help u, too expensive for me though, im after a cheap one.
so apart from janspeed are there any other people who make them

saw the sportex ones and they are about 130 quid, the only reason i would think twice about one of those is that they arent really renound for anything if u know wot i mean
if anyone has one and its really good then let me know as they are the cheapest so far

You want a down pipe or a manifold for your td? Its going to have to be custom either way I think......
SBD sell BTB manifolds......

apparently the lexmaul manifold is exactly the same as the janspeed one except the janspeed one is mild steel and the lexmaul ones stainless. I've got the janspeed one on my engine and it seems to be ok.

manifold and down pipe are one item on the replacements. Easy to fit. bolt off, bolt on. use new nuts and have some new studs in case they are ceased onto the nuts.
