Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifolds

[danoli777]

I want to get a 4-2-1 manifold made for my Hunter.
Can anyone recommend a company?

Where are you? I'm having a full stainless system from manifolds back made for my race car right now at Custom Craft in Elgin, Scotland - but very aware that is too far for most to travel!

The car is in Shropshire.

J P exhausts in Macclesfield will make you a custom one.

Do you need to take them a design for the manifold for them to work from, or do they design it for you? - I imagine the length and bore of the pipes makes quite a difference to engine performance.

How much are stainless steel manifolds? - I imagine they're expensive since there is a lot of work involved making them.

Have a chat to Kevin vernon at Tudor motor bodies in Market Drayton. I don't think he fabricates his own pipes but works on tons of classic and vintage stuff and could probably recommend a decent outfit

Don't forget that you can buy the head flange plates ror a lot of engines now, and buy all the stainless parts, so for the brave, you can do the sums and design and make your own, resulting in a well fitting gaffa taped manifold if you are careful, which can be presented to a good tig welder for finishing. now there's a challenge for you!!

Well thay had a Vixen exhaust and manifold, but it completely didn't fit (typical TVR), so the old exhaust was sent to them and they made it from that one.

I think the whole thing was around £600 from memory, but the workmanship is excellent.

BTB Exhausts have done work for me and it was spot on.

They made some special silencers with trick baffles which sorted the problem of my Tiger blowing its baffles out after spirited use.

Thanks for the information.
