New Exhaust Manifolds required - North East

[harry1972m]

MOT due in a couple of weeks and nearly there with all the jobs on my S3 - however need new exhaust manifolds due to a couple of holes and don't fancy tackling the bolts which look like they have been there since day one - I am also recovering from multiple fractures of my right hand which doesn't help !!!!
Can anyone give any suggestions where I can get this done in the North East sort of area - don't mind a bit of a travel.
Cheers

Sorry not sure where to get them done but ACT manifolds are excellent so wherever you get them done, get the mainfolds from Tim and have him courier them to there.

When I was in the NE I used Henry Baier, top chap who maintains a racing Wedge and Mawds's Vixen. He does excellent service at a really good price and knows his stuff. He's near North Allerton IIRC. I have his number somewhere.

Here: 01609 779169

It's a great drive to his place as well.

Get the manifolds from ACT www.actproducts.co.uk, they are JP SS but cheaper than JP and get Henry to switch them.

Cheers Fellas,
This was exactly my current plan as I still have Henrys number you gave to me ages ago Chris and also having read the threads on this it seemed like the logical step, I really just posted to see if there were any alternatives.

I tried my local garage in Heaton and was quoted £100 to weld my down pipe!! I got 2 new SS ones for £20. They also wanted a huge amount to change the exhaust. Having siad that it was £50 for a waxoyl and they siad I could pretty much do it myself if I wanted.
