u can gte janspeed mild steel ones which are aprently identical to lexmaul ones but not stailess steel and they can be cut and welded easier as stainless steel requires a TIG welder i do belive? What ever manifold you buy it will have to be shortejnded and the flange cut and re welded on to join your CAT or existing system

Stainless doesn't need tig welding. You can use mig, I believe powerflow use mig welds.

Tig is a lot better though.

the manifolds which come on the early GTE's were stainless steel(i think!) apparently. When they get hot, they go purple! Lee was saying about it earlier on.

I think its the same bore as standard but different lengths, meant to give 5-10bhp and a bit more torque.

Have a look at SBD's site
