Currently have the exhaust off to have the silencer 'modified' and took off the manifolds to try and finally cure the ticking noise.

All the gaskets were fine, but the off-side manifold (drivers side) has gone in the usual spot at the intersection of the primaries :(

I know from past experiences that it's normally the nearside that goes first, so was wondering if anybody out their has a good off-side manifold going spare?

Condition of the cat is not important as i may remove the pre-cats anyway, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that it is possible to weld repair.

However, if you want to replace with new then consider ACT's stainless manifolds. Look the business and come without pre-cats (kind of pre-de-pre-catted )

Sorry mate, your about 2 weeks too late for mine as I sold them on E-bay for £67 the pair (bargain!!) drivers side was perfect as well.
They do often crop up on E-bay though so definitely worth checking on there.
May also be worth checking the Griff forum as the manifolds are the same for all the RV8 engines.

Thanks for the replys guys.

Have looked on Ebay, but all there is on their is a full set including 'y' piece, and the cost is fast approching ACT prices.

Got my last one (nearside) off Tim at ACT, great service and a good price, but thought i would ask the forums to see if their are any lying around in somebodies shed at an even better price?

Sorted after a chat with Tim at ACT.

Going with a pair of refurbished exchange units without cats.

These along with the modified exhaust should give an interesting sound?
