Replacement Exhaust Manifolds

[Basil Brush]

Has anyone used the Motaclan exhaust manifolds? If so how do they compare quality/fit wise to the originals?

Mine are cracked on some of the welds and trying to decide whether to repair or replace.

speed 6 manifolds available in standard pipe diameter and larger 2" diameter stepped headers for the 4.3 and 4.5lt engines.

While CF's products are well worth the money and I recommend buying them.

I have two spare sets of manifolds. Do you know what type of lambda sensor you have fitted? M12 or M18.

I have both types.

I ended up buying the Motaclan ones as with a couple of discounts applied, they were just over 200 quid for the pair. There are some rough edges that need sorting out but ok for the price.

Your stainless ones look fantastic but 2 grand is a bit much at the moment on top of the roughly 15k I'm spending on the rebuild.

£200 for the pair!! that wouldn`t even cover the cost of materials to make 1 manifold!!

rumour has it that years ago there was a container of these old manifolds bought for next to nothing, which is why the price is so ridiculously cheap as they dont actually owe the seller anything, great for purchasers, but paints such a false picture for the spares market.

I hope you didn't take my comments as a judgement on your prices or that I was comparing the Motaclan manifolds to yours in any way. I'm just way over my rebuild budget already!

I bought a set from Motoclan/ Racing Green for my 2001 Tuscan.
It was a nightmare! I had to weld the inserts for the smaller Lambda gap of a MK1. And the routing was different. I had to change the curves of the exhaustpipe completely.
It seems to be that they changed the curves of the Exhaust system during the Production.
