Yes Alun Clive is responsible it's just that I can't match your polishing frequency and dedication ! wink (but in my defence I did need to repair / replace my existing manifold(s) anyway).

The devil makes work for convalescing men,,
Hang on,, you must have ordered them up or does he make them anyway,,

What art that is,,

Can you picture it,,,, I adore my pipes and what an exciting thing it is to open a Tvr bonnet and see such class, rusty pipes do my nut in.. I'm a bit weird mind.
When there Golden/ bronzed off,,,

Hope your getting well fast, so there gonna flow better too!

Hope to get them on in time for Burghley although not much of them will actually be visible because of supercharger system etc. but the old ones needed some work anyway. I don't want to undermine Clives pricing but I think you'll find those details on his FB page, just remembered you don't deal with the devil though so suffice to say it's just into 4 figures, told you I needed to cheer myself up. I did order them just before going into hospital though.

What a surprise Daz but no need to apologise. I didn't buy them as a performance upgrade and a benefit to me is that the clearance at the point where the catalytic converters used to sit is improved with these fitted (whereas the ACT ones are the same dimensions as standard) which should give me more airspace under my supercharger - but then you don't like those either do you Daz !

Where the four pipes join that's narrower, matches Clive's Y
Better flow out and offers a bit of back pressure maybe,
N/A engines like the RV like a bit of back pressure I believe,,,
It ain't gonna be any slower is it,,, ?
Will the stainless hold the heat back better, sort of chuck out the gases so fast it's hotter further down the line, does that make a blind bit of sence?

I haven't looked into it that much, but they do look pretty !!! Sorry Clive, I am quite shallow when it comes to shiny things, I know you've put a lot more thought, engineering and design into these than perhaps I initially appreciate !
