I'm going to replace my cracked manifolds with shiny ACT ones.
But I'm just checking if there would be any interest in a group buy.
I haven't asked ACT for the different prices.
Just looking if there would be any interest up front

So let me know if you're interested thumbup

I have them, very good bit of kit, although mine had to be adjusted to give a decent clearance to the chassis, but then every Cerbera is slightly different.

If I was to fit now, then I'd be lookign at the posters that have ceremic coated them.

Had an E-mail back from Tim at ACT today.
He said he would be happy to offer a discount for a group buy.
If we can order 3 sets, there's a 12% discount
4 or more --> 14% clap

So if we can get it up to 3 sets the price drops from £ 1185 to £ 1043 ex VAT
4+ means the price drops further to £ 1019 ex VAT

If you're interested just put your name below.

I'll keep this group buy open for 10 days, the payment should be made to Tim at ACT quoting "Cerbergroupbuy"

I think I'm going to have them ceramic coated as well.
They look really nice and help keep the temp down under the bonnet as well thumbup

Apparently just ask for an invoice request on sales@actproducts.co.uk and payment will go through when the manifolds are ready.

Hi Nils

Sorry for being such a Dullo but do these pipes cover the distance from the Cylinder Head to the Centre pipe face (thereby eliminating the necessity for Cats/De-Cats) ??

Ta !!

No you still require cats/decat pipes.
It would be pretty difficult if you have to pull the manifolds each time you get it MOT'd.
But they sell decat pipes as well and the money you save with the group buy, is about the price of a set of decats wink

For those of us who are a little clueless about these manifolds... if my Cerb is on the originals can I presume that at some point the old manifolds will die a death?

Thanks

The original Cerb manifolds are mild steel with bubblegum welds. And about 99% of them crack at the welds (mine did)
They can be rewelded but they'll probably crack again...
The ACT ones are 304 stainless steel with proper welds. a lot more durable and with the performance ones you gain some midrange torque.
It's kind of hurtful in the finance-department but worth it in the end (I think).

I fitted some of the ACT one piece manifolds when I had my 4.7 upgrade done good quality stuff not sure about any performance gains as they just copy the standard items, if you want a performance upgrade you have to get the mega bucks multi piece ACT manifolds.

I think the originals are stainless just a lesser grade than 304.

The flanges are monkey metal though. Welds will last if you brace them properly when welding up.

ooooh I want a 4.7 too frown
Well this group buy is for the multipiece performance ones.
They are quite expensive but everybody seems to be really happy with them.
And they are beautifully made lick
