New manifold - how much?

[Good soil (Pete)]

Hi All,

I have a split in the exhaust manifold that might be welded (will know once it has been taken off and inspected!) but if it is beyond that and I need to replace them….I have some questions for you all……

How much for new ones? (Quote of £560 for the pair…just parts seems ok to me, but wondered how much anyone else has paid!)
The car is a 99 4ltr model.

Any ‘do not get these’ pieces of advice?
Any suppliers worth getting in touch with?

I don’t intend to do it myself…..the bolts might be too hard to get out and I can not be ar*ed…that what mechanics want to do all day! I want to drive it, not fix it!! :-)

I do use a very reasonable well know indipendant so I don’t think the quote is hi at all, but if there are cheaper alternatives for the month of January, the bank account sure could use it!! :-)

Cheers all
Pete

Get in touch with ACT, their stainless De-cat mainfolds are cheaper than std TVR replacements and better.
