What manifold? Focus rs

[neiljohnson]

As per title been looking round at the differant options on a exhaust manifold for my mk1 focus rs. Been looking at the racing concepts one as it appears to be good quality but what experiance do you have? I dont want to be taking it back off the be welded back up all the time

from what i have read and heard primary designs are the best around.

Have also heard this but they are also very expensive and have heard of problems with the bonnet getting to hot and damaging the paint although i do not know if this is a one off or not

Give Pat at Primary Designs a call mate!
Quality is top as is the sound it makes...well worth the money IMO.
I had a PD exhaust, sport cat and manifold on my MK1 FRS. Had the manifold ceramic coated to reduce under bonnet temps but didnt have any probs with heat damaging anything.

JEK ones are currently the most popular with the "blue army" (RSOC guys)

I'd love one, but the money these things cost for the FRS is just too much for a car I don't use much.

Have seen these but cant find anywhere that sells them!!

Send a message to "Skipper" on the RS site. He is Mr JEK fabrications.

As for the hot bonnet issues, many guys heat wrap or have theirs coated. Its more expense but a way round the problem. Blueflame do something similar, manifold, £600, ceramic coated manifold, £1k!

I will have a word with someone about this new modification.

I just had my v8 manifolds coated (4 into 1) by these guys and was very pleased with the result:

Finish was cermacrome:

Edited by n

the manifold was a lot harder to fit than the old one was to remove but still only took about an hour and a half.
