Interesting - I have some stainless Rangey ones too which I am keeping in reserve.

I would be interested to know how much chopping about you have to do at the bottom end where it meets the box, to join them to the rest of the system, and also whether they fix OK into the chassis space

Sorry to hijack but does anyone know if anyone makes a decent manifold which would fit in a 450i Wedge which has the headers for cylinders 3 and 5 swapped over?

Don't think anyone has ever made one for the V8 wedge.

I'll have to see If I can get some custom made. It's supposed to make a significant improvement in power.

Why not buy off the shelf and just have those modified .. much easier.

You can buy the bends from JP exhausts who I believe make the manifolds for ACT..

There is more room on play with on the passenger side of the engine.

Pipes left to right : 1, 3, 5 ,7 a better alternative would be to join 1 & 5, 3 & 7 because of the firing order (1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2) note 5 and 7 fire next to each other.
standard wedge



Or DIY (if you mannify the ebay image to can see how they have linked 1&5, 3&7
